The demise of the Melbourne Rebels and the reduction of Australian Super Rugby Pacific teams to four has seen a considerable shakeup in the player stocks for the surviving clubs.
In this evolving article The Roar will track player signing and departure news as it happens before the Super Rugby squads are confirmed in early 2025.
(Note the 2024 squads listed below were those with which the clubs began last season, not the squads they had at the finish. New squads will be announced early in 2025)
LATEST
Former Wallabies star James O’Connor has extended his Super Rugby Pacific career by shifting to New Zealand and signing a one-year deal with the Crusaders.
The ex-Queensland Reds playmaker knocked back a contract to remain at Ballymore next season, where injuries had relegated him to a mentoring role in 2024.
The Crusaders announced on October 10 he had signed for 2025 to play under former NSW Waratahs coach Rob Penney.
“I’m really excited to be joining the Crusaders for the 2025 season and eager to test myself in a new environment,” O’Connor said in a statement.
“My whole career I’ve heard so much about the Crusaders culture and innovation so to experience it firsthand and learn a new way of playing the game is something I’m really looking forward to.”
The 14-time champions have struggled to overcome the loss of superstar Richie Mo’unga, who is playing in Japan, missing the finals this season.
STATE OF PLAY
There has been significant movement among the Australian franchises with the carve up of the Rebels list ongoing. The Waratahs, who have a new incoming coach in Dan McKellar, have signed several big names including Wallabies Taniela Tupou and Andrew Kellaway.
On September 9 they announced a week of signing news – starting with the naming of six newcomers (see the Tahs section below). A day later the Reds announced their flyhalf Lawson Creighton would be leaving to the Waratahs despite the club wanting him to stay. Finally, at the end of the week, it would be announced that Wallaby Dylan Pietsch will depart the Waratahs, signing a multi-year contract with the Western Force – despite reports the move was blocked by Rugby Australia.
The Reds have also beefed up with the arrival of Wallabies lock Lukhan Salakaia-Loto and winger Filipo Daugunu.
On September 12 the club said goodbye to another flyhalf, with veteran James O’Connor opting to head overseas.
And on September 17 the club confirmed to The Roar that former Under 20 Australia back Taj Annan, who played five Super Rugby games last season before injury, is leaving the Reds. It has been reported that Annan, 21, will be joining Newcastle Knights in the NRL.
There has been plenty of change at the Western Force as well with Darcy Swain crossing over from the Brumbies and Brandon Paenga-Amosa returning from France.
On September 11 they announced the signing of one-game All Black centre Matt Proctor, who was at the Rebels in 2024.
So far, the Brumbies are keeping their powder relatively dry, although they have signed two ex-Rebels.
There has also been significant movement overseas so far, with the likes of Wallabies Izack Rodda, Izzy Perese, Ned Hanigan and Lachie Swinton packing their bags for new adventures.
Add to that Wallabies prop Pone Fa’amausili who has signed a one-year deal to join New Zealand-based franchise Moana Pasifika after leaving the Rebels. He has fallen significantly down the pecking order after being named in Eddie Jones’ World Cup squad.
ACT Brumbies
The Brumbies have picked up two former Rebels in David Feliuai and Tuaina Taii Tualima but will look to bank on a stable squad. The biggest losses are forwards Darcy Swain to the Force and Jahrome Brown, who is expected to move home to the Chiefs.

NSW Waratahs
There has been a huge upheaval at Daceyville. Early attention will be on code-hopper Joseph Suaalii in his transition from the Roosters while the addition of Andrew Kellaway and Darby Lancaster from the Rebels should help ease the pain of losing Mark Nawaqanitawase to rugby league.
The influx of talented back-three and centre options has also meant several players have departed to make way – most recently two-test Wallaby Dylan Pietsch, who has made the journey across the Nullarbor to sign a multi-year deal with the Western Force – a move that will likely prove mutually beneficial, giving the talented winger more game time while freeing up options for Dan McKellar, and despite reports the RA reported attempted to block the move.
They added three more ex-Rebels to the list along with three more players in a single day.
Prop Siosifa Amone and outside back Henry O’Donnell return home to NSW following stints with the Western Force, and are joined by former Melbourne Rebels lock Angelo Smith, hooker Ethan Dobbins and backrower Leafi Talataina.
Amone (13 games), O’Donnell (5 games), Smith (20 games) and Dobbins (6 games) all arrive with Super Rugby Pacific experience under their belts, while O’Donnell and Talataina represented the Junior Wallabies last year.
Meanwhile Australian-born lock Ben Grant is back on home soil after spending the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season with the Hurricanes, preceded by two years with the San Diego Legion.

Queensland Reds
Club veteran James O’Connor has opted to leave for an opportunity overseas after five years with the club.
“These last five years a have been the highlight of my rugby career,” O’Connor said. “I’m so proud of where we have gotten to as a group. Although there’s been highs and lows the consistency, and just the love at this club, has been so incredible to be a part of.
“I’m departing Queensland a better player, leader and man, and I’m so grateful to have been able to play for this team, my home.
“The club couldn’t be in better hands. Les and the other coaches are easily the most cohesive group I have ever worked with and I’m thankful I got to be a part of it this year. I have no doubt that there’s a lot of success to come and I’ll be watching from abroad with deep gratitude. Thanks for everything Queensland. It’s been a dream come true.”
Queensland Reds Head Coach Les Kiss said: “James O’Connor has been a selfless leader in my time in Queensland, and personally I’m so pleased and grateful I had the chance to coach him this season, as are all of the coaching team.
“Whilst James encountered a challenging season that saw injury limit his ability to contribute on the field, he dedicated himself to improving the team in any way he could.
“His immense experience and willingness to share his experiences has played a pivotal role in the development of the Reds, most notably with our young flyhalves Tom Lynagh and Harry McLaughlin-Phillips. They’ll undoubtedly reflect positively on the time they were able to spend with him, fine-tuning their game and understanding the mental side of the playmakers’ role, and for that we’re indebted to James.
“We did make him an offer to stay and continue at the Reds and will be sad to see him go, but we respect the decision he and Bridget have made and wish them all the very best. I have no doubt James will return to give back to the Queensland Rugby community in coming years in some capacity, and that’s something we can all look forward to.”
The Reds have given their side an injection of class while being able to keep happy their existing stars. They are shaping to give the competition a decent tilt under Kiss. One to watch is Jordan Petaia, who is yet to commit his future for next season.
They did however lose flyhalf Lawson Creighton to the Tahs.
Creighton, 26, played 34 games for the Queensland Reds since his debut in 2021, including nine appearances in 2024.
“We would have loved Lawson to stay,” Kiss said.
“He has been an excellent and valued figure for the Reds over a number of seasons. We fully respect his decision.”
The club is also losing Taj Annan, with his destination expected to be the Newcastle Knights.

Welcome to the wingers circle, Dylan Pietsch ????
The Wallabies winger will join the Force after a strong 2024 SRP campaign with the NSW Waratahs, boasting four tries in 12 appearances ????⁰
Read more about his exciting signing to the Force ????https://t.co/uKA8CV63yB— Western Force (@westernforce) September 14, 2024
Western Force
The Force recruitment department has been flat out with a significant changing of the guard. Former Highlanders centre Sio Tomkinson and Wallaby Dylan Pietsch are the latest players to head west
Tomkinson spent the past two seasons playing with Welsh club Dragons RFC in the United Rugby Championship and European Rugby Challenge Cup. Tomkinson scored six tries in his 24 appearances for the Dragons. Tomkinson also brings Super Rugby experience, having played 43 times for the Highlanders from 2017 to 2022, scoring 14 tries.
There will be a lot of interest in the performance of Nic Dolly, who won a cap for England but is a possible future Wallaby, having come from down under.
They added one-game All Black Matt Proctor to their backline stocks.
Proctor will join the Force after previous stints with the Melbourne Rebels (2024), Northampton Saints (2019-2023) and the Hurricanes (2013-2019) where he was part of their 2016 Super Rugby triumph.
The 31-year-old back played for the All Blacks in November 2018 against Japan, scoring on debut. He also notched 12 caps for the Maori All Blacks between 2013 and 2018.
The Force also promoted 2024 Rising Star winner Henry Robertson to a full Super Rugby contract with the club on a two-year deal. He will replace Ian Prior in the scrum half-stocks.
The 24-year-old half-back had joined the Force in 2023, getting game time in the Toyota Challenge against the Cheetahs, before playing two games on an injury cover contract in the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season.
Robertson previously played six Super Rugby games for the NSW Waratahs, having originally hailed from Shute Shield outfit Sydney University.
Meanwhile, former Queensland Reds winger Mac Grealy has joined the club on a train and trial deal, linking up with the club ahead of their tour of South Africa, as they continue to bolster their outside backs stocks.
