Hi guys, I'm making an injury list for next year's Super Rugby.

At the moment, I'm trying to list all 2020/2021 SR players with long-term injuries that have ruled them out for the entire Mitre 10 Cup season, the remainder of the Mitre 10 Cup season and/or may rule them out for at least part of the 2021 SR season. I currently have the following players on my list; who am I missing? It has been proven hard to follow all the injuries in Mitre 10 Cup. Can you help?

Blues
Ray Niuia (knee)
James Parsons (concussion?)
James Tucker (knee)

Chiefs
Laghlan McWhannell (knee)
Solomon Alaimalo (shoulder)
Atu Moli (both hips)
Nathan Harris (rotator cuff)
Aiden Ross (knee)

Crusaders
Ethan Blackadder (knee)
George Bridge (pectoral injury)
Braydon Ennor (ACL)
Manasa Mataele (pectoral tear)

Highlanders
Connor Garden-Bachop (back) ??
Sam Gilbert (ACL)
James Lentjes (ankle)
Parpari Parkinson (knee)
Thomas Umaga-Jensen (shoulder)

Hurricanes
Fraser Armstrong (knee?)
Possibly disappearing from this list soon: Ngani Laumape (forearm)

Without contract?
Tei Walden (ruptured his achilles tendon)

Aiden Ross (??)

As per earlier in this thread, he had knee surgery.

James Tucker (knee) is also out for the Blues.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Cheers, it's hard to keep up, because updates are not only posted in this thread, but also in province specific threads.

I'll also add Tei Walden.

[Tim]

I'm assuming that Ray Niuia is still recovering from injury.

Crusaders. Mataele Chest injury out for start of SR

[ARHS]

@Chris Ayden Johnstone - Highlanders, Kini Naholo - Chiefs?

[Chris B.]

Quinten Strange is out for 6-8 weeks from end of September.

Liam Squire might be available in a few months for the Highlanders by the sounds of it - if you want to include him..

[Stargazer]

This weekend, the World Tens Series kicks off (Bermuda). I'm surprised to read that Chris Eves has been named in the Asia Pacific Dragons squad and will be available to them from round 2, which is played on the weekend of Sat 31 October. Released before the Mitre 10 Cup is over ... I know they have no hope of reaching the semis, but players leaving early certainly won't help them.
