Mack Hansen will miss the remainder of Connacht's season and will not recover in time for Ireland's inaugural Nations Championship this summer, which includes matches in New Zealand and his native Australia. The 27-year-old winger is undertaking rehabilitation and is targeting a return for Connacht's preseason training in the summer. He plans to be fully fit and ready to make an immediate impact for Stuart Lancaster's side at the start of the 2026/27 season. That timeline places his expected return roughly a year before the World Cup to be staged in Australia.
