Every URC transfer ahead of the 2022/23 season

Every team in the URC has been busy sorting transfers ahead of the upcoming summer break.

The Irish provinces have been using their academies to booster their squads while South African teams have only made a few, select moves. Meanwhile, all four Welsh provinces, but in particular Cardiff and the Dragons, have been busy releasing players and bringing in suitable replacements.
