Statement on Moana Pasifika
We are very disappointed for Pacific rugby and for the many fans who have supported Moana Pasifika that New Zealand Rugby has chosen to announce today that the team will not be participating in the 2027 Super Rugby competition.
Today's announcement will be felt strongly by players, their families and supporters. It will also be disappointing to many people in the Pacific who have got in behind the team.
Less than a month ago, we were approached by a number of parties and rugby lovers seeking our support to put Moana Pasifika on a financially sustainable footing. It would have been helpful if Moana Pasifika had come to us earlier about their financial situation.
Achieving a result in three weeks to facilitate Moana Pasifika being part of the 2027 season was always going to be a bridge too far. We had hoped NZ Rugby would grant us more time, but they decided they had to move ahead announcing today that the team will not be part of Super Rugby next year.
This morning Shane Jones and Mark Patterson 'Deliver the Goods' with up to $20.5m funding for a new major freight hub in Palmerston North.
NZ is an export economy and this freight hub that will connect rail, road, air, and sea to strengthen supply chains.
This means economic growth that will drive more jobs and benefit businesses and workers.
This site started with $40 million from the Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) in 2018 - Government backing the Regions.
