Connacht's Heenan may miss Pro12 start after hand injury

Jake Heenan set to miss the start of Pro12 due to an injury he sustained in last nights pre-season vs Montpellier.

The 24-year old New Zealander was taken to hospital on Thursday evening in France after a stud went through one of his hands.

“He got a stud right through his hand. He got quite a nasty gash and had to go to hospital,” said coach Pat Lam.
