The Chiefs have officially confirmed their squad for the 2025 Super Rugby season.
Although the club has only announced two new arrivals, Brodie McAlister and Jahrome Brown, several other roster additions have progressed from the pathways system to land their first full-time Super Rugby contracts.
This list includes World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year nominee Leroy Carter, Taranaki and All Blacks XV first-five Josh Jacomb and New Zealand U19s and Taranaki lock Fiti Sa.
โThe obvious thing is that there is a lot of consistency in the selection of the group,โ said Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan.
โI'm a big believer in cohesion. So, having guys that have played together for a while and experienced the highs and lows together.
"They learn and then create opportunities in the new season to put those learnings into practice and go one step further.โ
โI really love the team that we've got. I think it's got great balance, great depth, and our collective experiences will put us in good stead to give the competition a real shake. That's what we'll be aiming to do.
