Who is the Wallaby superstar/playmaker that wants to play for a NZ team? (I don't subscribe to nzherald out of principle: I'm stingy).
JOC. Chiefs rumoured.
@rotated ah, thanks. Superstar though? Playmaker? He does look a little like Jesus had a baby and called it Michael Bublé, I guess.

Because they are playing the whole round at one venue and that hasn't been finalised yet

Someone will know but I believe it will be Aussie somewhere rather than NZ. I think I heard Gold Coast? But I may be making that up in my head

@Hooroo that would make sense, still warm but not too hot at the time of year etc

@Bovidae At other end of spectrum Force round 2 home game will kick off at 5.45pm local time on a Friday.
@KiwiMurph The simple solution is to play some afternoon games on a Sat in Aust.

Exclusive report: Moana Pasifika's Super Rugby Aotearoa dream 'poised on a knife-edge'
Moana Pasifika have presented a new business case to New Zealand Rugby after an initial feasibility report revealed a funding hole in excess of $20 million, forcing the team to slash operating costs for their proposed 2022 entry into Super Rugby Aotearoa.
In the race against time and money to get a long-awaited Pasifika team off the ground, Moana Pasifika co-chairman Pelenato Sakalia remains hopeful the proposal will come together but a potential share of broadcast revenue remains a sticking point that could make or break the team's future.
The Herald has obtained the feasibility report, summited by Deloitte partner Doug Wilson in September, that reveals a $25.94 million funding shortfall for Moana Pasifika's proposed 2021 Super Rugby entry, and a $20.39m shortfall for the team's likely 2022 launch.
The report states player payments would be $10.05m for 2021 – double the respective five New Zealand Super Rugby teams – and include an additional $1.2m of one-off transfer fees for a dream roster that targeted luring likes of former All Blacks loose forward Steven Luatua back from Bristol.
