Entre los 456 jugadores contratados, hay dos argentinos que ya conocen lo que es jugar en este certamen: Santiago Medrano en Western Force y Martín Bogado en Highlanders.
Entre los nuevos fichajes del torneo se encuentran los Leigh Halfpenny y Rhys Patchell. Mientras tanto, el regreso más destacado es el del exAll Black Ryan Crotty, quien se reincorpora a Crusaders, el campeón defensor que ya no tiene en el banco a su head coach, Scott Robertson.
La nueva temporada comenzará el 23 de febrero con una repetición de la final de 2023, en la que Crusaders recibirán a Chiefs.
