The penultimate round of Super Rugby Pacific will see three sides enjoy the bye, with the Force finishing their season, the Waratahs needing a win in the west to keep their season alive, and the Reds looking to lock in a top-four finish against the Hurricanes.
Several key All Blacks are slated to make their return from the casualty ward in time for finals, with the Crusaders' Fletcher Newell and the Chiefs' Etene Nanai-Seturo expected to feature.
Minus the Waratahs, the Australian casualty ward is particularly concerning for front row stocks. Massimo De Lutiis at the Reds and Atu Moli at the Force have become the latest to be sidelined, with 11 props currently injured across the Reds, Brumbies, and Force.

On the Kiwi front, Will Jordan is confirmed to be back for the Crusaders for their finals run, while William Havili has been sidelined with a knee injury in a major loss for Moana Pasifika as they chase a maiden finals berth.
The Blues, Brumbies, and the Fijian Drua have the bye and are not included.
