Off the top of my head, only including past All Blacks...
PR - Laulala, Tu'inukuafe
HK - N/A
LK - Hemopo, Retallick
LF - Frizell, Ioane, Cane, Sowakula, Whitelock
HB - Smith, Perenara, Weber, Kerr-Barlow
FH - Mo'unga
CT - Laumape, Goodhue, Saili, Ngatai
OB - Bridge, Fainga'anukuThere's maybe five or six guys there that would definitely shore up the current squad but only a few who'd be in contention for starting - Smith, Mo'unga, Laumape, Fainga'anuku?
I don't think there's any point including guys like Smith. If not playing the NH he'd likely be retired.
Same with including a guy like Ioane in these lists, the current coaches will never pick him.
Also, is the Whitelock in your loose forwards Luke? Lucky lucky lucky Luke?
The hypotheticals need to be realistic ...

Has he managed to stay clear of injury during his time there?

I can't see a french club in particular signing someone who's ravaged by injury. So very likely.

Good on him then, because he couldn't stay healthy in NZ. Maybe Ethan should move to France, might help his career.....

Does anyone have updates on new contracts for any of these players missing super squads?
T Cook Savage, V Tikoisolomone, P Malimali, V Fine, N Grigg, M Whangaa, K Hauiti Parepare, A Lennox, D Pledger, R Rush, J Norris, B Ryall, A Brash, Andrew Smith, Hugo Plummer, D Ropeti, G Cridge, H Burr, J Tucker, S Matenga, A Johnstone, B Kumeroa, J OReilly, T Kolose, L ApisaiPresumably a few of these in Wtg or super cover, but which are signing up offshore now?
Could be slim pickings for super squad replacements later in the season... -
Southland had posted on social media that Matt Whaanga, Blair Ryall, and Jacob Payne have all gone to Japan as part of their partnership with one of those clubs. Not sure if they are there for full season or not.

He'd last about 20 mins with the extra physicality they play with up there.

@Yeetyaah Wasn't he not that far away from getting an All Blacks cap? He is Aussie born wonder if he is going to commit to the Wallabies.
