Mack Hansen, the Connacht back, will miss the entire Six Nations campaign after suffering a dislocated shoulder during a clash with Munster. Connacht coach Pete Wilkins confirmed Hansen is set for scans to determine the severity of the injury and questioned the legality of the tackle that caused it. Hansen will undergo shoulder surgery today and is expected to be out of action for 3-4 months. Graham Rowntree also expressed his unhappiness with the situation, as Munster's injury woes worsen with three players requiring surgery. Ireland prop Dave Kilcoyne is out for at least six months. The absence of Hansen is an obvious blow for Ireland's Six Nations prospects, compounded by injuries to other players like Jimmy O'Brien and James Lowe.
