James O’Connor has joined the Western Force and Len Ikitau is back at the Brumbies after all 10 Super Rugby Pacific teams unveiled their squads for the 2027 season.
The squads were confirmed on Thursday in an official Super Rugby release, with a home Rugby World Cup in Australia later in 2027 giving every player extra reason to press for Test selection.
The Hurricanes start the new season as defending champions and have kept much of the side that won the 2026 title.
Western Force
The Force squad includes 11 Wallabies, with James O’Connor, newly capped Wallaby Harry McLaughlin-Phillips and James Ramm among the additions. Kurtley Beale has re-signed and new arrival Harrison Goddard is also in the train-and-trial group.
Simon Cron’s side won the inaugural Super Rugby AUS title in 2026 and will be chasing a maiden Super Rugby Pacific finals appearance. Zac Lomax, who makes his Australia A debut against the USA on Saturday, is listed among the utilities.
