Aidan Ross, a 22-year-old prop from Te Puke, has signed with the Queensland Reds for the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season, leaving behind his current team, the Chiefs. Ross, who has been with the Chiefs since 2020, has made 32 appearances for the team. His move to the Reds is seen as an opportunity for him to further his rugby career, especially after being part of the Chiefs' championship-winning squad in 2022. Ross expressed his gratitude towards the Chiefs for his development and is excited about the new challenge in Australia. His departure is part of a broader trend of New Zealand players moving to Australian teams, which has sparked discussions on the implications for New Zealand rugby.
