Ireland wing Mack Hansen is on schedule to be back in action in mid-April, Connacht head coach Pete Wilkins confirms.
CONNACHT COACH PETE Wilkins has not ruled out marquee signing Santiago Cordero making an appearance before the end of season, with the Argentine international on course for action at the end of May.
But Cordero, capped 50 times by the Pumas and who broke Irish hearts at the 2015 World Cup when they reached the semi-finals, suffered a serious knee injury in his first week training with Connacht after arriving in Galway last July. “I think that is him physically but also mentally that he can get enough rugby and dynamic training under his belt to have real confidence in the knee.
“It really does come down to that last period and seeing how he is tracking. We will have to see how much rugby then and where we are at. It is a positive case scenario for us to make it back then.”
