Round Nine of Super Rugby Pacific has thrown up some fresh injury concerns despite a large contingency of teams having the bye last week.

Round 9 of Super Rugby Pacific is filled with big match-ups as the teams lock in their sides for the weekend.

All Blacks and Chiefs centre Quinn Tupaea has continued his surge, taking a clear lead in the Super Rugby Pacific Player of the Year voting after Round 8.

A perfect send off for the Crusaders, a huge upset from the Force, and the Chiefs send a warning.
