There may have only been two games over the weekend, but there has still been plenty of new injuries! New Injuries Rd 1: Dalton Papali'i (Blues) - Ruled out for six weeks with a hand fracture Asafo Aumua (Hurricanes) - Not technically an injury, but as an all black he also needs to have rest weeks - because of this he reported for Hurricanes duty on January 29 below peak condition and was left out of their squad to play the Bulls, then Jaguares in Buenos Aires the following week. Likely back on the bench in Rd 4. Shaun Stevenson (Chiefs) - Slight calf strain in training, won't be considered for Rd 2.
