CONNACHT HEAD COACH Pete Wilkins says the delay in Mack Hansen ’s contract extension has nothing to do with the recent disciplinary process he’s gone through for comments he made about match officials following their defeat to Leinster before Christmas.
Six more contract extensions were announced last week but Hansen’s future has not been wrapped up yet even though his contract expires in the summer. “So, it can take a little bit longer in terms of ironing things out, but there’s nothing to worry about there I’m confident it will all work out.” Hansen’s suspension started at the weekend but he wasn’t missed as Connacht thrashed Lyon 52-24 and are now guaranteed to top Pool 1 in the Challenge Cup before they head to Cardiff for their final game against Cardiff. Two match points would guarantee home advantage throughout the three rounds of knockout games all the way to the final.
