2023 Super Rugby U20s

It looks like a Crusaders U20 Wider Training Squad has been named, but I haven't been able to find the full squad list.
I assume/hope, other franchises will also soon publish a U20 WTG list. -

The big question is, are they replacing the Barbarians in the NZ U20 SR tournament, or will there be a full U20 competition involving the Aust teams and Drua?
-
@Bovidae How good would that be that runs parallel to the main comp.
-
It looks like the U20 competition will be a shorter competition, like last year (but earlier than in 2022).
The Super Rugby Pacific U20 competition runs from 18 March – 25 March 2023.
-
@Bovidae So that means that teams will again play only 3 games (and no play-offs). Teams will not play all other teams, meaning that a lot will depend on luck of the draw. Not good IMO.
-
Yes, it appears to be a missed opportunity to expand/lengthen the tournament. And as I said previously, might mean the end of the Barbarians team participating.
