Super Rugby Pacific 2025

Dismal Pillock

Blues have their own slot cos if they had to share an announcement time nobody would remember the names of the dickhead drongos in the other rugby football team being named at the same time cos their names would be overshadowed and would pale into insignificance compared to THE BLUES 2025 SQUAD


have started cobbling together my 2025 Blues Season Preview, currently at the stage of poring over my Bespoke Book of Horrific GIF's:

I had no idea Mike was a coach. Has he had much success / experience? Same with Lachie McCaffrey, hopefully Dan M will be helping out on the defence side?
Mike Catt has been coaching backs/attack since 2008, started with London Irish but has spent most of his time with test sides (England, Italy and Ireland). Comes in very well credentialed.

McCaffery has less experience but has been coaching the Gungahlin in JID cup and more recently coaching defence at Otago in the NPC

Aus teams need to seize the momentum and do something special this year, I think the sugar hit from the Rebels scattering will be shortlived as their contracts run out and players move on.

Is there a consistent cap on the numbers of players in a squad? ATM the Tahs have named 42 player, the Reds 40 and the Brumbies 36. Are there Academy players listed for the Tahs/Reds?

EDIT : Force have also named 40. Maybe the Brumbies are saving some spots to see who comes on the market in the new year, or are they just being squeezed by their new owners, Rugby Australia?
