List of 2020–21 Super Rugby transfers explained

This is a list of player movements for Super Rugby teams prior to the end of the 2021 Super Rugby season. Departure and arrivals of all players that were included in a Super Rugby squad for 2020 or 2021 are listed here, regardless of when it occurred. Future-dated transfers are only included if confirmed by the player or his agent, his former team or his new team.

In addition to the main squad, teams can also name additional players that train in backup or development squads for the franchises. These players are denoted by (wider training group) for New Zealand teams, or (development squad) for Australian teams.

Notes:

Argentina

Jaguares

The Jaguares were not named in a Super Rugby season in 2021. They had been rumoured to be joining an expanded Súper Liga Americana de Rugby competition, but were not named in the 2021 season of the tournament.[1] The Jaguares won't play in 2021 and all players will depart the team either overseas, or enter the draft for the 2021 Súper Liga Americana de Rugby season.[2]
