HANSEN'S A DOUBT FOR KIWI FACE-OFF

With Hugo Keenan already out until December, Hansen was in the frame to start at fullback - where he lined out for the westerners on Saturday night.

But he was injured as Bulls sub Embrose Papier slid in feet first to try to try and deny him in the corner and had to be helped off.
