No wait, this version is worse: And you thought the Reds 41 was a big squad...

He would've been a good chance of a debut last year but he did his ACL in the pre-season. He's only young but has been with the wider squad a few years now - he did very well as a lock/backrow playing colts in 21 and 22.

Given the 41 player squad announced there's a pretty good chance the Reds have named the WTS alongside the full squad, so I wouldn't be too worried about them rushing a guy like Goldsborough as a result. I think it will be good for those guys to be as integrated into the main squad as possible...

Yeah, I get the reasoning behind on the hour, but maybe one team every half hour is the ideal?

Crusaders: The kerning on the font down the bottom is a war crime

Looks like Taine Roiri is the extra lock, had forgotten about him after his injury but he makes a lot of sense.

Reds: Amazing to see a side go for the multi-page offering and execute. Innovative, insightful and inspiring all while remaining respectful of tradition. A modern classic.

Has been with North Habour in the NPC so it makes sense he might pop up at an NZ super rugby side

Hurricanes also using multiple graphics, thankfully only 2 though:

Tom Savage. Looks like the tahs were Sateki Latu and Ola Tauelangi. Aus under 20s would be Sama Mololo, Nigel Ah Wong and Tomasi Maka.

tahs appear to have not bothered with their own graphic, just posted the super rugby pacific one on their insta: probably for the best given the readability of their signing graphics

Moana:

Talatina is in that promo video they put out yesterday, more likely he's just on some sort of WTS/development contract outside the main squad.

Thankfully Super rugby pacific is posting 'clean' lists:

What, you don't want to see the squad listing split over 17 seperate images?

Good graphics so far, chiefs including number of caps is nice, but I think I prefer the Drua's specific position breakdown. Ideal would be both. Any bets on worst squad graphic? After last year's team sheets I'm backing the Blues to put out something just about unreadable.

I have Ben Morgan with 171-187 Gloucester caps depending on the source and he just retired so it could be him, though it also seems unlikely. Freddie Burns was at Gloucester for a fair while but I don't think he got to 179 (wikipedia has 131). Does make some sense given his stint at the...

It's not unrelated, but it goes a bit beyond. There's a bit of competition structure to it around the top 2 NZ teams (was supposed to be the Crusaders, but they're in the UK) going over and playing top 4 teams from Japan, rather than specific team to team partnerships. If they got the top 2...
