Both winger Mack Hansen, who suffered a deep cut to his knee, and lock Joe McCarthy, who got a knock to the head in training days before the opening round game against England, are back training with the squad. “These weeks are great, you get to manage some guys. Some need a push, some need to be pulled back a little bit. That’s just the management piece.”
