Prime Minister Christopher Luxon made it clear taxpayers won’t be bailing out a team that already failed, urging funds be redirected to schools, roads, or hospitals. But Winston Peters of New Zealand First says they were actively negotiating a sustainable future with Pacific leaders — though he admits a three-week turnaround was unrealistic. NZ Rugby remains open to reviving the team if someone can secure over $10 million in revenue and $15 million in capital — but for now, the curtain’s falling on Moana Pasifika’s competitive run.
