The seventh round of Super Rugby Pacific kicks off this Friday night at Sky Stadium as the 2-3 Hurricanes take on the 4-1 NSW Waratahs. For the 67,000 of you playing Fantasy Super Rugby, the first roster lockout will take effect at the 7.05pm (NZT) kickoff.
The teams have been locked in - continue reading below for squads and injury updates - with the Chiefs and Blues on a bye week, there are only four matchups to consider in Round 7.
In the Sport Nation league, 'Jacobs4323' was crowned Team of the Week by a margin of just two points - their tally of 736 was bolstered by the one-time use of the triple-captaincy boost on Damien McKenzie with 252.
