The Super Rugby squads for 2027 have been confirmed with the odd surprise and the continuation of some teams showing depth across their squads. <\/p>\n
The Crusaders have :16 players who are current or former All Blacks while the defending champion Hurricanes have 18. <\/p>\n
The Blues look to have a squad of young players but still have the likes of Patrick Tuipulotu and Sam Darry at lock along with the experienced Josh Beehre. <\/p>\n
They also have Aride Savea and a returing Reiko Ioane. <\/p>\n
The Highlanders look to be a litte stronger with Ethan De Groot, Ben\u00e9t, Saula Ma\u2019u, Jack Sexton and Angus Ta\u2019avao available at prop while Fabian Holland if he can stay fit set to be a huge asset. <\/p>\n
There’s some talent in the loose forwards with Lucas Casey, Shannon Frizzell and Sean Withy, however a lack of significant depth across the squad will leave Jamie Joseph hoping for an injury-free season. <\/p>\n
The Chiefs have seen a few changes, but again have a strong squad from front to back and have Canterbury captain Brodie McAlister joing them along with Daniel Lienert-Brown. <\/p>\n
The outside backs for the Chiefs look like try-scoring machines if they can get the ball with \u00a0Leroy Carter, Isaac Hutchinson, Emoni Narawa, Daniel Sinkinson, Kyren Taumoefolau and Frank Vaenuku listed. <\/p>\n
