Will Jordan's 4' Try in the Crusaders clash with Highlanders #SuperRugbyPacific

Round Nine of Super Rugby Pacific has thrown up some fresh injury concerns despite a large contingency of teams having the bye last week.

The biggest news is Crusaders duo Will Jordan (calf) and Codie Taylor (hamstring), both not making the trip to Queensland.

Meanwhile, the Western Force has been dealt a double blow, with Darby Lancaster (ankle) and Darcy Swain (illness) ruled out.
