Six Nations 2025: Injured Ireland wing Mack Hansen ruled out of Scotland game

Ireland wing Mack Hansen has been ruled out of Sunday’s Six Nations game against Scotland at Murrayfield because of a hamstring injury.

The Connacht back missed training on Saturday and will be replaced on the right wing by Munster’s Calvin Nash.

Hansen was an injury doubt earlier this week after cutting his knee in the win over England before being passed fit, but is unavailable because of “hamstring tightness”.

Ireland will hope the Australia-born 26-year-old, who missed last year’s Six Nations because of a shoulder problem, will regain fitness in time for Ireland’s trip to Wales on 22 February.

Ireland interim boss Simon Easterby was already without prop Tadhg Furlong and lock Joe McCarthy for Sunday’s game.

Nash, 27, started all five of last year’s championship games – scoring tries against France and Italy – as well as both Tests against South Africa last summer.

He made his Ireland debut in a 2023 World Cup warm-up game against Italy and started for the first time in last year’s Six Nations win over France in Marseille.
