Almost as if the Highlanders are last to check out who has been left out to grab few last minute rejects 🤣🤣

Can anyone make out the players from this Hurricanes post? I think the front three are Lakai, Higgins and it looks like Jackson Garden-Bachop. I can’t tell who the back two are…
Back left could be Kini Naholo. Definitely stumped on the player on the far right.

Any mention of when the Pacific team will be named?
could probably go in the social media/marketing thread too...but, why are the NZ teams going it alone...why isn't this a big event for all the teams to announce their teams?

We are still waiting on what will happen for Super Rugby (or any alternatives) in 2024

has this already been posted?
News of the impending deal came as whispers grew of New Zealand interest in Major League Rugby side LA Giltinis. The Giltinis, who were previously owned by F45’s Adam Gilchrist, are closing in on their own deal to secure their future in the American MLR competition after they were suddenly booted out during last year’s finals series along with Austin Gilgronis.buying and MLR team would be an interesting move

Both teams mentioned above have just been cut from the MLR tournament for next year (announced 5 hours ago or so).

Staggered announcements. 2hrs in between. I think it's a good move. Allows each team to be focused on individually and digested as seperate entities.

So, who missed out on a spot?
Jordan Lay from the Blues.
Josh Beehre and Danny Drake as locks.
Gibson and Garden-Bachop from the Hurricanes.
TTT and Milo-Harris as halfbacks.
Tom Florence, Sititi, Ekuasi, Peita, Melvin as loose forwards.
McKenzie as a 10 and 15.
Moses Leo and Denny Solomona as midfield/wings.
-
@Tim is denny solomona still in NZ? i forgot about him!
-
@Kiwiwomble Was playing for Harbour. Was injured until late season.
-
@Tim how did he go?...was not impressed with his stint at the Highlanders
-
@Kiwiwomble I didn't watch much, but think he was OK.

O'Reilly. Surprised Highlanders didn't pick him. Did very well starting for the Canes this year

He's definitely better than Apisai.
