Was announced last week.
Obviously the local club comps and schedules all run differently. Wellington have their final tomorrow. BOP still have two weeks to go and have named a 50 strong training group only so far as have HB

Angel Mulu was BOP, so must have transferred to Wellington.

The Waikato women's final is this weekend. I assume a squad will follow.

Those bloody poachers have stolen our big prop Ashley (Moomooga) Palu!

@Stargazer Yeah from Hawke's Bay, Kelsyn McCook is from Taranaki, 3 more players from Otago adding to the 4 that were already there. They do like to bring in players from out of town

[Stargazer]

@NateHill74 Yes, that's true, but the difference is that Otago often benefits from having a University, which attracts players from other provinces (for example: Teilah Ferguson, Rosie Kelly). We normally only lose players and many of them don't come back (again: Teilah Ferguson, who's now in the Wellington squad.

Waikato probably names their squad after this game.

You’d think they’d name the squad before the pre-season like most others?

@mikedogz theres a CM pre season with BOP this weekend.
BOP officially announce squad tomorrow.

They probably have internally, but not officially to the public. Maybe a team for this game gets named later in the week.

[Bovidae]

Waikato have named two wider training squads for their game against Auckland. I assume this is the new coaching group too.

As posted in the 2022 Hawke's Bay Representative Rugby thread:

I've not seen the Auckland, Waikato and North Harbour squads, yet, so I assume they still have to be named.
