Haven't found the original, yet, but it looks like Rieko.

I’m hoping Tupou Va’ai gets a contract with a team

@mikey07 Here you are. Looks like Jordie.

Get real, with a sun tan like that it is clearly a hitherto previously unknown Fijian winger about to become the next big thing!

[Bovidae]

Are we expecting the new jerseys to be unveiled tonight?

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae I can't speak for the Fern, but I don't expect it. They usually do that later. It would distract a bit from the team naming.

[RugbyFan999]

Any idea what time the squad naming commences?

May have appeared earlier in the thread, but checking the transfers table on wikipedia - the Rebels have signed Harry Potter!

Oops. I lost this post when moving it

@Duluth I wondered why it was going to the Spark thread!

MEET THE NEW SUPER RUGBY HEAD COACHES

• Warren Gatland (Chiefs)
• Rob Penney (Waratahs)
• Naoya Okubo (Sunwolves)
• John Dobson (Stormers)
• Ivan van Rooyen (Lions)
• Sean Everitt (Sharks)

[Machpants]

@Stargazer So Penney the odd, foreigner, out

[Higgins]

Numbers named in the squads so far
Highlnaders = 39
Blues = 40
Crusdaers = 38
Hurricanes = 39
Chiefs = 39

How many exactly are each team allowed to contract as there might well be some players still to be worked on (or possibly cut from the Blues if the maximum is 39)

[Machpants]

Caleb Clark is 7s so maybe he's the 40th

[Tim]

@Higgins Blues: 40 = 38 + Clarke + Barrett?
