No Connacht Christmas ceasefire, then. Two days after Mack Hansen’s spectacular drive-by verbal volley from his always entertaining lips, few pipes of peace out west.

Head coach Pete Wilkins is taking a “wait and see” approach after the Ireland international took the post-match press conference by surprise in questioning the standard of refereeing in Connacht’s 20-12 loss. “We’ve not heard anything at this stage from the URC. If something comes down the line later in the week, we’ll wait and see,” said Wilkins.

As it is an off-field issue, there is no time specific aspect to the matter but it is expected that a hearing will follow once the province respond to the initial correspondence.

Connacht head coach Pete Wilkins says the province are yet to find out whether or not Mack Hansen will be sanctioned for his comments on the officiating in Saturday's 20-12 defeat to Leinster.
