Jesus, just dump the stupid thing.

It's fallen between all the cracks fan-wise.

Their 2 best players Tavatavanawai and Levi Aumua both buggered off as soon as other NZ teams came sniffing. Which is exactly what will happen again when the next MP (Moana Pasifika) player shows any decent form.

I mean, the results aren't fabulous, but there's a lot more capped Samoan/Tongan internationals in the squads this season, which is mostly the point of the sides existence, no?

Sure, the squad is bulked out with a "best of NPC" group, but unless it's a literal money pit for NZ Rugby, from World Rugby's perspective it's doing its job?
