Isn't the Drua a NZ license too?

They were but Fijian govt brought ti didn't they. I was under impression NZR only held their licences (MP too) until they were set up.

[Dan54]

Yep it is good work by Aus govt, but it's not quite $52 mill to Fijian Drua and Fijiana or even the 7s (some goes there), but it part of that amount that goes to sports in the region. MP were never part of it I don't think. and certainly never read anything saying it is.

You’re mixing up the owner of the licence with the issuer of the licence

Any announcements about when the squads will be named? Next week or after the World Cup final?

Not 100% certain but I heard a whisper 30th or 31st Oct after the WC Final weekend.

[frugby]

I was thinking the 1st with the new kits to be released at the same time.

[Kiwiwomble]

@frugby i saw the highlanders doing some social media work looking for their "biggest" fan to be the first to get one of the new jerseys so they must be on the horizon

[Yeetyaah]

@Kiwiwomble new kit is out December 1st

[Stargazer]

@Kiwiwomble Yeah, all SR Pacific and SR Aupiki teams have posted something similar. The "biggest fan" had to be available on 31 October. I assume that's when they'll film the promotion videos.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Yeetyaah cool, hadnt seen that announced

Surely the likes of Rebel Sport and the online stores must be trying to get rid of the old Adidas kit ASAP.

Yes, I never specified which month 😉

[Yeetyaah]

OK! this is more like it, actual cohesion across all the teams on these kinds of announcements

[Bovidae]

The majority of the squads are already known (either under contract or have been announced via SM) now so it's really only the last 6-8 players that may be a surprise.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Bovidae and i tiny bit of fan fare kicking off the build up to next season
