Sydney NRC teams

After allocating Waratahs players to their existing clubs, some of the Sydney teams are still understrength. Players returning from the Rebels and Force fill the breach. Each team in Sydney has 1012 players from Super Rugby, with the remainder of each squad to be recruited from the Waratahs wider training group and local club players. Note that these selections are nominal only to show how the squads might appear.
