Yeah....you check them with the person who made the booking. In this case, SRP (Super Rugby Pacific).The teams manager would be given the details of the flights/hotel etc that Super Rugby book, but they would absolutely be checking them and confirming them etc. just like every other tour group.
There probably aren't other instances because other teams have competent managers, who confirm late checkouts as soon as they are given details of the booking
