MACK HANSEN WILL face a disciplinary committee tomorrow following his comments after Connacht ’s URC loss to Leinster last month.
After saying Connacht were “getting pressured from what seemed like 16 men against us instead of 15”, the winger highlighted two incidents from the game – a tackle from Connacht out-half Josh Ioane on Gus McCarthy which was subject to a lengthy review with no card, and a potential high shot from Jordie Barrett on Bundee Aki which which was not reviewed.
However Hansen is now facing the prospect of disciplinary action due to a potential breach of URC rules around ‘misconduct.’
