Jermaine Ainsley: Ainsley suffered a dislocated elbow against the Crusaders two weekends ago, after a scrum collapsed in the second half. With initial scans revealing no bone damage, it was deemed that no surgery was needed and he is set to miss 12 weeks.

Adam Coleman: Wallaby lock Adam Coleman is recovering well after straining his calf in the Round Two win against the Queensland Reds in March. The big lock is back into intensive training and will be available for selection soon.

Angus Cottrell: Cottrell is in the last phases of his knee reconstruction - he suffered in the Round 16 clash against the Stormers last season. His rehabilitation is on target and he will increase his training workload in the coming weeks. All things going well, he is expected to be available for selection in July.

Kane Koteka: Koteka suffered a concussion in the Crusaders match, making him unavailable for the Blues match the following week. He is on the concussion pathway and is likely to be available for selection.

Ryan Louwrens: Ryan has ruptured his ACL in his right knee, after landing awkwardly in the first half against the Blues at Eden Park last Saturday. This is the other side to his previous ACL injury. He will be sidelined for 9-10 months.

Ben Matwijow: Ben suffered a neck injury in a pre-season training session. Scans following the injury revealed damage to some discs in his neck, for which he underwent surgery two months ago. He is now recovering very well and is back in Perth rehabilitating at Road Safety Western Force HQ. He will not play for the remainder of the season. We expect to see him return to the field next year.

Ben McCalman: The skipper dislocated his thumb late in the pre-season and has had a frustrating road back to recovery, taking longer than first thought to be back in full training. The hard-nosed No. 8 is available for the upcoming match against the Kings.

Curtis Rona: Rona took a heavy hit in the Crusaders match two rounds ago and failed to pass the concussion test the following day and was subsequently flown home. He has recovered well in the week off and is available to play this weekend against the Kings.

Francois van Wyk: Francois suffered a similar injury to Adam Coleman, sustaining a high-grade calf strain in the Busselton trial match in January this year. Van Wyk has completed his rehabilitation and has played two games of club rugby. He will be available to play for the Road Safety Western Force’s against the Kings.
