The Waratahs suffered a big injury toll in their bruising Super Rugby loss to the Brumbies, with hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau and backs Rob Horne and Bryce Hegarty set to miss games.

Australia international Polota-Nau fractured his arm in the 32-15 defeat at Canberra Stadium on Friday night, while new recruit Hegarty has suffered a suspected anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Wallabies centre Horne also suffered a knee injury and the Waratahs could yet lose replacement hooker Tolu Latu to suspension for their next game against the Highlanders at home in two weeks.

Latu was cited for punching Brumbies centre Matt Toomua in the second half.

"It was a tough night," coach Daryl Gibson said. "But injuries are all part of the season and that's why you have a squad."
