International powerhouse and Wallaby Test centurion Sekope Kepu will Captain Moana Pasifika for their debut season in Super Rugby Pacific. Kepu’s duty gets under way with this Friday’s pre-season game against the Gallagher Chiefs at Mt Smart Stadium. With 110 Test caps and three Rugby World Cup campaigns to his name, Sydney-born Kepu has been a natural choice for the Moana men. Kepu was the first prop to reach the 100 Test milestone for Australia and he is their most capped prop of all time. In total, Kepu has played 295 first-class matches including 141 appearances for the Waratahs and he brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to the emerging talent of Moana Pasifika. -
@tim Nice to see young Grammar-Carlton lock/Loosie Felix Kalapu getting a run at 6 in the third 30.

@tim said in Pasifika SR team:
From what I've seen in the game against the Chiefs, Alex McRobbie was the best MP forward. He should be in the starting XV, as a lock or a blindside flanker.

Moana Pasifika are pleased to announce global digital operator, mobile, broadband, TV and ICT leading services provider to the Pacific region, Digicel Pacific has today signed their inaugural Super Rugby Pacific sponsorship and is the new sponsor for the jersey sleeve for the 2022 season.

Not bad, securing funding from both Australian and New Zealand tax payers in its first year!

Would be great if MP could win this one.

@Duluth I must be one of the few Ferners that have watched games at Prince Charles Park in Nadi, Teufaiva Stadium in Nukualofa, Churchill Park in Lautoka, and Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka. Have also been to Apia Park and ANZ Stadium in Suva but not watched any games there. Honourable mentions also to Hunterville Domain and Collingwood Rec ground I think it is called amongst what would be well over 200 to 300 grounds I have watched a rugby game at!

As expected the PIs are just using MP as another vehicle to poach our players.
Seems early for Toala to switch.

@Stargazer I would've given Henry Time-Stowers Forward of the Year.
All the other awards seem fair.
