About this episode
New Zealand Rugby's adamant there was no choice but to reject rescue plans for the financially-strapped Moana Pasifika.
Moana is officially out of the 2027 Super Rugby season – although there is hope they will be back in the future.
The franchise fizzles out, owing millions on a loan from the Government through Sport New Zealand.
Chief financial officer Chris Kinraid told Mike Hosking they made all efforts to save Moana Pasifika, but in the end they had a pretty strict criteria.
He says they were looking for proposals that had the cash to support the franchise and a sustainable and viable business plan, and both those criteria weren’t met.
