Mack Hansen showed off a nasty war wound after helping Connacht to a 15-10 win over Ulster in Belfast on Friday night.
Hansen, 25, suffered a head injury during the victory and was forced to be bandaged up before playing the full 80 minutes for the province.
The Ireland winger joked that his "model career was on hold" after showing a graphic image of the gaping wound on his Instagram.

But Hansen will be keen to recover for Connacht's URC semi-final, which will be against the Stormers or the Bulls who meet in Cape Town today.
It was a famous victory fro Connacht against an Ulster side never beaten in a knockout match at the Kingspan Stadium.
But the Westerners were much the better side in the first half and deservedly led 9-3 at the break and should have been much further ahead but they lacked precision in their finishing.
Ulster came roaring back into the match when Alan O'Connor scored the only try of the match but Connacht defended bravely at the death to hold on for a place in the semi-finals.
