Eight Aussies in Super Rugby Pacific 'Team of the Year'
Super Rugby Pacific player of the year, Moana Pasifika captain Ardie Savea, who had an unbeatable lead in voting with two rounds of the competition remaining, headlines the side.
While the Team of the Year will become an official post-season recognition in Super Rugby Pacific alongside Player of the Year from next season, an honorary team has been named for 2025.
There are eight Australians in total - two backs in cross-code star Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, who was named as fullback in his first season, and Western Force winger Harry Potter.
The line-up was formed from the top-ranked players in each position based on Player of the Year votes from across the season.
If players were used across multiple positions, for team of the year purposes they were assigned only the position they most played during the season.
"Selection in this team is a reflection of the respect and admiration these players have earned from their opponents, week in and week out, throughout the 2025 season," Super Rugby Pacific CEO Jack Mesley said.
Australian openside flankers Carlo Tizzano, Fraser McReight and Langi Gleeson could not initially be separated for the third back row position, having received the same amount of votes (29).
With voting coming down to who received the most "three votes" for best in a game, Tizzano and McReight couldn't be split, with both receiving five.
They also received the same minor votes and shared the award.
2025 SUPER RUGBY PACIFIC TEAM OF THE YEARPROPS - Allan Alaalatoa (ACT Brumbies, 20 votes), Angus Bell (NSW Waratahs, 14 votes)

CA boss Greenberg's warning for future of Test cricket
Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg has warned some nations will go "bankrupt" if they continue to play the longest format of the game, stressing he sees a future with less Test nations. Admitting he has become a "little unpopular" since taking over from Nick Hockley in March, the former Australian Cricketers' Association boss believes "scarcity in Test cricket is our friend, not our foe". "I don't think everyone in world cricket needs to aspire to play Test cricket, and that might be OK," Greenberg said on Wednesday with 100 days to go before the Ashes. "A lot of traditionalists might not like that. "I'm not suggesting I know the number that will play, but literally we're trying to send countries bankrupt if we force them to try to play Test cricket. "We need to make sure we invest in the right spaces to play Test cricket where it means something, and has jeopardy, and that's why the Ashes will be as enormous and as profitable as it is because it means something." But there could be more Test cricket played in Australia, with Greenberg open to playing red-ball matches in Queensland and the Northern Territory during winter. Australia are currently hosting South Africa in Twenty20s and ODIs in Darwin, Cairns and Mackay. Tests were last played in Darwin and Cairns more than 20 years ago, with Australia hosting Sri Lanka in 2003, then Bangladesh the following year. "I was in Darwin on Sunday night (for the first T20)," Greenberg said. "I went there primarily because it meant a lot to the people of the Northern Territory. "They hadn't had international cricket there for the best part of 17 years. "The one thing when you go there at this time of year is you take the one biggest variable away, which is the weather. "Great facilities ... I can see that (Tests) happening." Greenberg has also been exploring privatisation of the Big Bash League, noting other T20 competitions around the world are backed by money outside the governing cricket boards. "That will upset some people, and it will set the hairs racing and potentially of people debating the merits," he said. "It would be completely naive of us sitting here in Australia to not explore it. "I'm not suggesting that we're going to do it yet. "I'm not suggesting there's been a decision made, and ultimately it won't just be my decision or Cricket Australia's decision. "It will be the whole of leadership of Australian cricket and it has to be beneficial for everyone."

Davidson returns to Victory in search of silverware
Socceroos defender Jason Davidson has set his sights on leading Melbourne Victory to more silverware after returning to the A-League Men club on a two-year deal. Davidson previously played for the Victory during the 2021/22 season, with his most memorable contribution being the stunning free kick that helped lift the club to Australia Cup glory in February, 2022. The 34-year-old signed with Belgian First Division side K.A.S. Eupen ahead of the 2022/23 campaign, before joining Panserraikos FC in the Greek Super League. Victory haven't won any silverware since Davidson's Australia Cup heroics, and the 23-cap Socceroo wants that to change. "Returning to Victory after three years in Europe is incredibly exciting," Davidson said in a statement. "I'm looking forward to working with a quality team and the wonderful new coaching staff at the club, with the aim of securing points and ultimately silverware for Melbourne Victory. "My time overseas has only made me more hungry for success. I intend to bring my best to the team, alongside the rest of the playing group, and help drive success this season." Davidson earned a surprise recall to the Socceroos squad earlier this year, and looms as a smokey for the 2026 World Cup. The fullback was part of the Australian outfit that won the Asian Cup in 2015. Davidson joins Sebastian Esposito, Franco Lino, Keegan Jelacic and Louis D'Arrigo as new arrivals for the upcoming season, along with the re-signings of Roderick Miranda, Santos, Adama Traore, Kayne Razmovski and Luka Kolic. Meanwhile, Brisbane have signed midfielder Georgios Vrakas from Greek Super League outfit Atromitos FC. A product of both the POAK and SSC Napoli academies, the 24-year-old made his senior team debut for POAK in the Greek Super League in 2020 before transferring to second-tier side, Levadiakos FC on loan for two seasons. In 2024, Vrakas made the permanent move to Atromitos FC, where he played for the club on 17 occasions in 2024. In 2025, the midfielder moved to Athens Kallithea on loan, playing alongside current Roar defender James McGarry. "I'm happy to commit to Brisbane Roar and moving to Australia to play in the A-League," Vrakas said. "I believe that my skills and attributes will make me a good addition to the team. "I can't wait to start putting in the hard work with my teammates and represent the people of Brisbane with pride."

JACKSON BARRETT: International white-ball matches in the Top End could help revitalise short-form cricket
Cricket is dipping its toes back into winter waters, but it's time for it to take the plunge and embrace it full-time. The first two matches of the Top End series between Australia and South Africa have been a success. The ground is full and vibrant, the wickets are perfect short-form decks that change once the dew sets in and the ground comes across really well on TV. And the opponents — a near full-strength South Africa with their eggs in the Twenty20 basket — are strong enough to give the series genuine appeal. In fact, this is tracking towards being the most engaging white-ball series played on Australian shores in quite some time and the northerners are loving it The first game in Darwin was sold out and now the deciding game in Cairns on Saturday is also a sell-out. The summer series in recent years have felt like a tepid entree, wedged between the end of the football season and the start of the Test summer, where we're all actually more interested in how national team aspirants go in the Sheffield Shield. In the build-up to the World Cup, it is also one of the strongest and most stable white-ball teams Australia has had for some time. The tour is getting close to making the country feel some affection for its short-form teams again. The energy of the cricket-starved Northern Territory crowd has been infectious. Cricket Australia needs to lean into this. There are two Tests scheduled against Bangladesh for this time next year that are almost certain to be played in northern Australia as well, but it's the one-day and Twenty20 matches that could truly be revitalised. Like all international cricket, interest in these series rely on jeopardy. This one has it. South Africa knocked Australia off in the World Test Championship and both teams are now building towards next year's T20 World Cup. Now the series is level — and players like Dewald Brevis have emerged with a rush — there's plenty to play for. Australia doesn't make money off summer one-day series and while playing in Darwin, Cairns and Mackay wouldn't be turning a profit either, little if anything would be lost by taking a good opponent from October to face them in August. The shots of pastel Darwin sunsets and packed outers could also soon become a winter tourism escape. England would do anything to have a region where they could play international opponents in the middle of their winter and expose players to cricket for close enough to 12 months of the year. Former Test cricketers Ed Cowan and Jason Gillespie are among those to push for the Australian Cricket Academy to be reborn and moved to Darwin. It would mean the best teenagers in the country are back training under the eye of coaches linked to the national program and Test aspirants can be finetuned in the lead-up to big series. Darwin is a sports-hungry market that has been left largely untapped. The AFL has mostly shouldered arms to it, despite its deep-seated passion for the sport, and if Gold Coast have their way matches in Darwin would be reduced further. It's the perfect time to make Darwin the home of white-ball winter cricket. It brings cricket to a part of Australia that otherwise sees little of it and could be the rocket those formats need.
