The 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season is finally here and with that comes the first release of the injury/unavailable list for this round.

There is a host of regulars out for this week’s action, whether injury-related or players still working their way back after long Test seasons.

This includes the likes of Beauden Barrett and Nick Frost, along with Wallabies flyhalves Carter Gordon and Tom Lynagh.

The Hurricanes have the bye and therefore are not included.
