All ten franchise teams in Super Rugby have players with Fijian, Samoan, and Tongan ancestry, according to their squad rosters.

Ardie Savea, the 2023 Rugby World Cup player of the year, isn’t on the list, though.

The Hurricanes mainstay will be absent from the game as he takes a sabbatical.

The season of 2024 Super Rugby Pacific Islands begins on February 24, 2024.
