## Resource

Moana Pasifika’s future hangs in the balance as New Zealand Rugby hits a June deadline for a viable rescue plan. Winston Peters insists New Zealand First is still in the game, calling it “eleventh hour” chaos with barely three weeks to spare. While a 2027 deal looks shaky, hope lingers for future seasons—with whispers of U.S. backing and interest from the Kanaloa Consortium and a potential Samoan-Tongan government investment. Time is running out, but the fight to save the franchise isn’t over. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
