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.

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.

@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.

[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.

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

Yes, to full on tragics, but nice to have it all in one place for your average supporter

Back in the old Super 12 days they always released them together - I remember sitting around with my mates (pre Fern days) and discussing who made it and who missed out (the squads weren't as well known then as now - sometimes the players didn't know).

we did much the same, then because we didnt have smart phone you'd go around people you know at uni from around the country asking about the players you didnt know

Highlanders used to have load of last minute drafts...not the best players but a little but exciting
