A reduced Super Rugby Pacific round this weekend sees two Kiwi sides and Moana Pasifika have their second bye, with derbies taking centre stage on either side of the Tasman.
Damian McKenzie is set to make his return for the Chiefs, while Stephen Perofeta and Ethan Blackadder headline the All Blacks set to miss out.

Meanwhile, Wallaby Hunter Paisami becomes the newest addition for the Australian contingent to be unavailable, while the talented Etonia Waqa is a last minute scratching for the Drua.
Moana Pasifika, the Highlanders and the Hurricanes have the bye and therefore are not included.
