Is Super Rugby in fact the best way forward for Pasifika rugby? Saturday's match between the Maori All Blacks and Moana Pasifika in Hamilton essentially heralds Moana Pasifika's emergence as a Super Rugby side. They along with a Fiji based team are set to join the Super Rugby competition from 2022. Join Joe Porter on RNZ's Extra Time as he talks to Pacific Rugby Players boss Aayden Clarke, Samoa women's coach Ramsey Tomokino and RNZ sports writer Hamish Bidwell. Clarke believes two Super Rugby teams means more opportunity for Pacific Island players, which the world owes them. But Bidwell isn't convinced it will translate to improved performances by Samoa, Tonga, and Fiji and wants those unions to do a better job of organising their sport. We also hear from New Zealand squash star Joelle King, who's staying put in the UK in the hope she gets some tournament play. And she talks about undergoing a barrage of Covid testing.
