Argentine international Sanitago Cordero is set to make his long-awaited debut for Pete Wilkins’ side.
MACK HANSEN HAS been ruled out of Connacht ’s vital URC clash with the Stormers but Argentine international Sanitago Cordero is set to finally make his debut after suffering an ACL injury in his first week training in Galway last summer.
“So each week he is doing contact testing on the shoulder in terms of tackling, breakdown work and ball-carrying. The physios are treating in between that and there is a lot of rehab work going on. But it really is week on week and seeing if he has the functionality in those contact areas but also that he doesn’t pull up afterwards because of any ill-effects.
“I wouldn’t want it to seem like we’re expecting anything bad. We’re totally aligned and there is no pressure from them. It’s really about getting him right for our sake, his sake and their sake.”
