Rugby Update: Ireland’s Winger Mark Hansen to Miss Six Nations Due to Dislocated Shoulder

Mack Hansen, the winger for Ireland’s rugby team, will be unable to participate in the upcoming Six Nations championship. His club, Connacht, announced on Monday that Hansen is facing a three to four-month recovery period due to a dislocated shoulder. The 25-year-old, originally from Australia, sustained the injury during Connacht’s recent 22-9 victory against Munster in the URC Championship.

Since his debut two years ago, Hansen has been a standout performer for Ireland under coach Andy Farrell, becoming the first-choice right winger. He played a pivotal role in last year’s grand slam triumph and was a key player in Ireland’s crucial World Cup matches, scoring nine tries in his 21 international appearances.
