Overview

Veteran Australian rugby players have begun securing contracts to prepare for the 2027 Rugby World Cup. Notable signings include prop James Slipper with the ACT Brumbies, fly-half James O’Connor with the Western Force, and Bernard Foley with the NSW Waratahs.

As Super Rugby Aus enters its second round, these roster updates have led to high-profile reunions, such as the pairing of James O’Connor and Kurtley Beale for the Western Force. Other teams have also bolstered their squads, including the Queensland Reds with the addition of David Fusitu’a and Sefa Naivalu.
