Super Rugby Pacific 2025 Injury Update ahead of Round 1

Add to the list Billy Proctor also not playing this weekend for the Canes because of minor leg injury.

Crusaders have loads of injuries, but a few of those have been carried over from the NPC in 2024.

Leinster Cup quarters finals are being televised on Prem Sports 1.

My opinion these school games should be on YouTube

Also, why isn't there a seeded draw? You have No 1 vs. No 2 in Ireland. Doesn't make sense.

Terenure College won their quarter beating Wesley College 35 - 7

For the good of SA rugby Sharks shouldn't sign Henco. We've got two young centres who need as much game time as possible

How bad is he. It's like counting sheep listening to him

SA born flyhalf Luke Davidson could make his debut off the bench for Saracens against London Scottish in the Prem Cup.

Luke finished at Michaelhouse last year and played for the Sharks U18 Craven Week side. One to keep an eye on

Only managed to get a quarter of the way through it... 😉

I intend to read all of it! Was published on the 30th Jan.

Just embarrassing

Scotland U20 vs Italy U20 on Friday @ the Hive Stadium @ 19:15

- Scotland flank Christian Lindsay is at school (only 17)! Keen to see how he goes
- Reading Enoch Opoku Gyamfi is a whopping 146kg! not seen his official dimensions though

Michael Cheika to leave Leicester Tigers at the end of the season.

Three names emerge as replacements - Graham Rowntree, Franco Smith and Felix Jones.

Crusaders vs Blues @ the Kirwee Rugby Club - 31st Jan

Very happy with how he is developing. He will keep that 13 for a long time if he continues playing like this. Also happy with our 12 Ethan Hooker.

Tom Bowen looks exciting! Little guy but blistering pace

We have the Wales U20 squad

Jeez is that needed?

Few injuries to mention:

Italy
Piero Gritti (lock)

Ireland
Emmett Calvey (prop)
Niall Smyth (prop)
Luke Murphy (Loose forward)
Todd Lawlor (Outside Back)

4 squads named for the 2025 U20 6N. Waiting on Wales and England. Will do a breakdown by position, etc, soon.

England U20 vs Bath in a warm up fixture.

Few more big names back in. Waiting on Angus Hall, Archie McParland, Henry Pollock, and Ben Redshaw.

England going to have a very dangerous backline in the U20 6N!

Team to beat imo

Could see he had something playing for Nottingham. Also worked his way up from playing amateur club rugby so has the right ethic. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

Chatted to Ellis Mee after a Notts game last season. Decent guy. Good to see him starting for Scarlets and playing well.

💪

Enjoyed that game! Good quality

Very concerning! hope none of the pubs I go to introduce rationing! 😬

Town is buzzing!

Me diving into the weekend! Enjoy the Xmas parties and rugby!

LBB!

I think LBB was counting all his ribs there 🤣
