Mack Hansen, the Connacht wing, will be able to participate in Ireland’s Six Nations opener against England, following a three-match ban imposed for his remarks on refereeing after a loss to Leinster. An independent disciplinary panel found Hansen guilty of misconduct regarding his comments on the officiating during the match. As a result, he will miss two Challenge Cup games and one URC match, but his suspension allows him to play in the Six Nations starting on February 1.
