Mack Hansen admits ‘I let my emotions get the better of me’ as Connacht star breaks silence after being slapped with ban
MACK HANSEN has spoken out after being hit with a three-game ban for his post-match outburst after Connacht’s defeat to Leinster.
The Ireland and Connacht winger was slapped with a six-week suspension after slamming officials following the game on December 21.
Three weeks have been suspended, meaning he will miss the province’s next three games but will be available for the Six Nations.
Speaking after the 20-12 defeat, he said: “To be honest, it felt like we were getting reffed out of the game for the first 40 minutes, pretty much.
“Then, we were able to do our thing. We were able to show the exciting rugby that we play.
“We’re not a team for excuses, but that’s what I feel. I feel like in the first bit.
“We were getting pressured from what seemed like 16 men against us instead of 15, to be honest with you.”
Reacting to the ban, Hansen apologised for his behaviour and admitted he had let his emotions get the better of him.
He said: “People know I always wear my heart on my sleeve. However after the Leinster game, on this occasion, I let my emotions get the better of me.
“Upon reflection, my comments to the media were ill-advised, and fell far short of the standards I expect of myself, and what the sport expects of its players.
“I want to offer an apology to the match officials for any distress my comments may have caused. Our games are built on mutual respect and I didn’t show that after the game.
“I also want to apologise to the URC, and I fully accept the findings of the independent disciplinary panel.
“I love Connacht, and I love rugby.
“Moving forward, I will channel all my energy and passion into representing my province and country to the absolute best of my ability – both on and off the field.”
Connacht Rugby did not make any further comment after being handed a suspended €10,000 fine.
In addition to the suspension, Hansen has been told to make a full apology to referee Chris Busby.
He will also undertake an appropriate course as decided by URC Head of Match Officials Tappe Henning and IRFU Head of Referees Dudley Phillips.
Connacht Rugby will also have to run an education session with their players about how to conduct themselves in post-match media sessions and interactions with the media.
As a result of the suspension, Hansen will miss the Challenge Cup games against Lyon and Cardiff (January 11 and 17) and the URC clash against Glasgow Warriors (January 24).
However, he will not miss any of Ireland’s Six Nations games.

Cheryl’s stalker terror as obsessed killer fan left messages and flowers outside West End show
CHERYL’S full stalking nightmare has been revealed after an obsessed killer fan left messages and flowers outside the West End show she was performing in.
The Sun exclusively revealed how the mum-of-one suffered terrifying harassment by a convicted killer who also turned up at the home she shares with her son Bear.
Cheryl has been facing a stalking hell[/caption] The star was sent messages with flowers on it from a killer fan as she performed her West End show last year[/caption] The singer was put on ‘red alert’ as she performed in 2:22 A Ghost Story[/caption]The singer has secretly been facing a stalking hell which continued even after the tragic death of her former partner Liam Payne.
Daniel Bannister, who killed a man in an attack at a homeless hostel, has been convicted of causing the Girls Aloud star “serious alarm” after going to her country mansion in Buckinghamshire.
But he didn’t stop there.
It has also been revealed that Cheryl had to increase her security when she was performing in 2:22 A Ghost Story on the West End last year.
Her team were said to be on “red alert” after she was left menacing messages with flowers outside the theatre.
Bannister has now been found to be “displaying fixated, obsessive, unwanted and repetitive behaviour” towards the singer which he knew would cause her distress.
He was put behind bars for four months in September for an offence in July and handed a three-year restraining order meaning he cannot contact Cheryl, enter Buckinghamshire, or attend her address.
But in December he is alleged to have returned to her house in the country she shares with seven-year-old Bear, court documents show.
Bannister, who has no fixed address, was charged with breaching his restraining order by entering the county of Buckinghamshire on December 10.
He is then said to have turned up at “an address where you knew or believed Cheryl Tweedy was present”, which is another separate breach.
He also attempted to contact Cheryl either directly or indirectly, which he was prohibited from doing.
Bannister pleaded guilty to the three offences in December and has been sent back to prison before his sentencing on January 30.
Convicted killer
In 2012 Bannister pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Kingston Crown Court of 48-year-old Rajendra Patel at a south London YMCA shelter.
Following the alleged attack in February of that year, Mr Patel returned to hospital on March 9 and died the following day.
A post-mortem report gave the cause of death as pulmonary thromboembolism, deep vein thrombosis of the left thermeral vein, and a fracture to the left ankle.
Bannister, who was 37 at the time, was due to go on trial for murder but the Crown Prosecution Service accepted the lesser plea of manslaughter.
The two men, who both lived at the shelter, were said to have an ongoing feud at the time of the attack.
