Sititi will miss the Chiefs’ next two matches in Australia, beginning with the Round 6 trip to Canberra to face the Brumbies on March 20, 2026. (thepost.co.nz) The Chiefs have reshuffled their loose‑forward group for the trip, naming Luke Jacobson in the back row after his return from a hip problem. (rugbypass.com) Sititi previously underwent meniscus surgery on his right knee in January 2025, a procedure the Chiefs said would require an extended period of recovery. (chiefs.co.nz) He was crowned World Rugby’s men’s XVs Breakthrough Player of the Year in November 2024 after a rapid rise into the All Blacks setup. (rugby-247.com) Chiefs head coach Clayton McMillan has reiterated the club’s focus on supporting Sititi’s rehab and said the player would continue to contribute to the squad environment while sidelined. (chiefs.co.nz) Despite the setbacks, Sititi has previously returned ahead of schedule to feature for the Chiefs, including a comeback to play on Anzac Day after his knee recovery. (superrugby.co.nz)
