New Zealand’s six Major Associations have announced the players offered first round domestic contracts for the coming season.
The contracting process for domestic players involves two rounds and each team will contract a total of 15 players overall. The Major Associations can offer between nine and 14 contracts at their discretion in the first round, then complete the process to their full contingent with second round contracts that are offered on 10 August 2015.
The two-stage contracting process ensures increased competition for the final contracts offered at Major Association level, and helps ensure the best players are contracted throughout the country.
