As we come upon the start of season two of Major League Rugby, each team has brought on new players. Those players are either transfers from other teams or were branding new signings. We're going to look at the new signings specifically here, with the pre-season newcomer XV. A bench has been added because there are a number of good players brought into the league this year.
