MELBOURNE, April 15 (Reuters) - Super Rugby Pacific is set to lose its second team in three years and shrink to a 10-team competition in 2027 following a decision by Moana Pasifika's owners to disband the struggling franchise at the end of the current season.
Moana Pasifika management said on Wednesday it was no longer viable to continue the Auckland-based franchise, which joined Super Rugby in 2022 with a vision of building pathways to test rugby for players with Pacific nations heritage.
