The injury list continues to develop as the ten teams in action confirm their unavailable players for the second round of Super Rugby Pacific.

Damian McKenzie and Du'Plessis Kirifi remain out, joined by the likes of Cortez Ratima and Samipeni Finau.

Watch every second of the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season live and on demand via Stan Sport.

The Australian teams have come through the weekend relatively unaffected, with Nick Frost and Dylan Pietsch among the big names out.

The Queensland Reds have the bye and are therefore not included in the list.
