David Moffett: former NZ Rugby chief executive on whether Moana Pasifika can be saved
from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB
Moana Pasifika wrapped up their last Super Rugby match with an upset win over the Brumbies. The franchise has been placed into liquidation and there's no solid rescue deal for the team in sight, despite a rumoured bid from an American multi-millionaire. Former NZ Rugby chief executive David Moffett says this prospective buyer needs to do their due diligence when it comes to the team. "There's only one outcome for somebody funding a team to be in Hawaii, and that is that they will lose a lot of money. And if they're prepared to lose a lot of money and they've got it to lose, then that's okay. There's no money to be made in this." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
