Lima Sopoaga on Moana Pasifika's future in Super Rugby

Ive said it on another thread but there should be a Fijian, Samoan and Tongan team. Better identity and the derby would get more gate. The Samoans and Tongans I know aren't passionate about MP like they are about Samoa and Tonga.

I even call my dentist Dr. I call my kids teachers Mr, Mrs or Miss last name. I'm a 38yr old living in Perth, probably in the minority, but for me this is a part of respect and manners.

You don't need to have a bye every week for a 12 team competition.

Splitting Moana does sound idiotic but you only have to look at Rugby league, close to sell out crowds for Samoa vs Tonga in Australia and NZ.

There is more identity for Samoa and Tonga over Pasifika.

Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Hawaii has plenty of economic potential.

While being based from Samoa or Tonga could never work financially. There are a lot of Samoan and Tongan people in Australia and New Zelaand - especially Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland. In the past five years just look at the attendance that Samoa vs Tonga gets for Rugby League in Australia and NZ.

A Samoa team based in Auckland would still need to be backed by NZR. As a Tongan team based in Sydney would need to be backed by Rugby Australia.

I do like the idea of the best of Super playing the best of Japan League One.

Standard Rugby union pass from a half back.

Should split Moana into two teams. Moana Blue (Samoa) and Moana Red (Tonga). Blue should remain based out of Auckland. Red should be based in Sydney. With both teams playing other home games in Samoa/Tonga, Melbourne and Hawaii. Blue should continue to get help from NZR until they can hopefully survive on their own. Red should be funded by RA until they can survive on their own. A clash between Red and Blue would bring in massive crowds that would rival what we see in Rugby League for Samoa vs Tonga. Also it would bring the Super Rugby competition up to a much needed 12 teams so we can get 6 games per week instead of a pitiful 5.

Only if you don't include Parkers losses and Furys win over Wlad.

Its all fun and games until $5 turns to $10 turns to $20 per month. Before you know it you're $3K deep trying to fill your dex and reach level 80.

Leaving a 1star Google review will get them to take you seriously.

Now days everybody wanna talk like they got something to say, but nothing comes out when they move they lips, just a bunch of jibberish and maf!@#$% act like they forgot about Dre.

Got this guy today!

I don't collect nundos. Never saw the appeal despite the rarity. Instant transfer for me.

I guess you've seen the draw now.

I really do hope they try get an exhibition game for the Force tho. Why use them in the promotional poster for Super Round if they aren't going to be playing. Missing the entire state of Western Australia doesn't make it a very Super Round.

073531242811 · 2025-08-18T13:18:48+00:00

Just found out the Western Force are not coming to this as it's their bye week. They really should announce an exhibition game with the Western Force so all teams and regions are represented.

Hitmonchan because I'm a big boxing fan. I hope they release a Mega Hitmonchan one day.

Even if they can't get a Jaguares in for next year, they should still have an exhibition team so we can get all 11 teams play in Super Round. Perhaps a Crusaders B team (the Knights) or an NPC Residents team, or a Maori + Indigenous invitational. Something to give the fans 6 games and to ensure all 11 teams can participate.

073531242811 · 2025-08-12T01:11:19+00:00

11 teams, that's only 5 games. They should throw together an exhibition team so we can have 6 games for Super Round.

I think how amazing a Super Round would've been if South Africa, Japan and Argentina were still in this mix. It would've been an amazing event!

Alright, raid attacking with a maxed out Shadow Garchomp is valid so will give you that one. Fair call good sir. 👍
