[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 673080, member: 39190"] 15 men start with 8 on the bench as probable/possible replacements so a matchday playing squad is 23 throughout. For tournaments like the Rugby world cup the squads are either 30 or 31 (still only 23 play per match but you need replacements in case of injury or to alternate players between different games) now recently allowing for an extra specialist prop for safety reasons. Other than that a club or nation can have as big a squad- usually seperated into an 'elite' and 'extended' or senior and junior section- as they deem necessary. The French tend to have bigger club squads than South African teams do but they play a lot more games as well so there is no hard and fast rule as such. [/QUOTE]
