@Bovidae I can't answer your question, but looking at the photos on the Crusaders' instagram, there are a few NZ U19, U20 and (former) NZ Schools players training with the senior squad. I assume the NDC players will be among them:
Isaac Hutchinsonm (2022 NZ U19), Jack Sexton (2019 NZ Schools & 2022 Academy), Jamie Hannah (2022 NZ U20 & Academy), Jone Rova (2022 NZ U20), Nic Shearer (2022 NZ U20), Fletcher Anderson (2020 NZ Schools & 2022 Academy), Joel Lam (NZ U20), Liam Allen (Crusaders capped, 2022 Academy), Blair Murray (2018 NZ Schools & 2022 Academy) and Monu Moli (2019 NZ Schools Barbarians & 2022 Academy). Not in the photos I've seen, but I assume Seb Calder is training with the squad, too.
Seb Calder is the replacement for Ollie Jager who is out for the SR season.

@Chris Who are the other 3 NDC players? I rate Cahill ahead of Hannah.
I see that Ioane Moananu is training with the Crusaders.
Yes Ioane Moananu is going well by what the article said
I believe the 5 NDC contracted players areMoli
Cahill
Hannah
Lam
Rova -
The interesting thing in that was watching how Razor communicates.
He has that knack of making people feel that he is totally focused on them for a short period of time. He may be paying lip service but it comes across as genuine focus.
I have come across a few 'leaders' like that over the years and they do leave a good impression on you and get your support.
As far as getting the best out of people it is a very good ability to have. -

When he retires, with his name and hipster beard he really should consider getting into craft brewing..

Or the Oily Jag. Powerful but smooth.

@Stargazer He is such a weapon for the Saders and Abs that I would expect to have him carefully wrapped up and managed.
If Jordie is our AB 12 moving foward, we need Will Jordan at the back in the WC. He has the speed and x-factor to be a tournament star later in the year so managing him carefully in Super Rugby is a must.

It's concerning, considering he has a history of concussions.
Has he had a history of concussion? I thought he has had concussion like symptoms but tests revealed other issues. Even the article mentioned this was not concussion related.

Before he made the ABs he missed a season of SR due to concussion (I think it was a whole season - if not, it was most of it)
