Not long to go now.

The new Super Rugby season kicks off in a few weeks, with Ronan O’Gara’s Crusaders hoping they can retain their title. While there has once again been a drain on players from Europe, every single side has also strengthened.

A number of players have also been lured back home from Europe, such as the Kurtley Beale and Marnitz Boshoff. David Pocock has also resigned with the Brumbies are his sabbatical.

Here’s a comprehensive list of Super Rugby player transfers ahead the 2018 season, thanks to SA Rugby Mag.
