The ACT Brumbies can confirm centre Kadin Pritchard has been ruled out of Saturday’s Super Rugby Pacific fixture against Moana Pasifika with a high-grade hamstring injury. 

Scans have confirmed the injury will sideline Pritchard for an extended period of time, ruling the 22-year-old out for the remainder of the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season. Kadin will work closely with the club’s medical team on rehabilitation and return-to-play timeline. 

Hudson Creighton has been named to start in the midfield for Saturday’s clash at GIO Stadium Canberra, while Jarrah McLeod has been added to the bench and is in line to make his Super Rugby Pacific debut. 

The Brumbies can also provide the following injury updates, thanks to Garran Medical Imaging.

Outside back Ollie Sapsford is expected to be sidelined for 2-4 weeks as he manages a knee injury. 

Back-rower Tuaina Taii Tualima has undergone shoulder surgery and will miss the remainder of the 2026 season.  

Hooker Chris Mickelson sustained an ACL injury in our game against the Western Force and will also miss the remainder of the 2026 season.  

All players will work closely with the club’s medical team on rehabilitation and return-to-play timeline.
