    'It's not easy': Young Kiwi's unusual path to Moana Pasifika

    'It's not easy': Young Kiwi's unusual path to Moana Pasifika

    Many believed Lincoln McClutchie should have been a Super Rugby player long before now.

    Paywalled..

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before? A couple of other franchises were chasing his signature

    McClutchie held conversations with several teams for the 2022 campaign, including the Crusaders and Hurricanes. However, Moana Pasifika came to him early in the piece, and he jumped at the opportunity for a role the size of which he likely wouldn't have had with other franchises.

    Sekope Kepu named Moana Pasifika Captain – Moana Pasifika
    International powerhouse and Wallaby Test centurion Sekope Kepu will Captain Moana Pasifika for their debut season in Super Rugby Pacific.
    
    Kepu’s duty gets under way with this Friday’s pre-season game against the Gallagher Chiefs at Mt Smart Stadium.
    
    With 110 Test caps and three Rugby World Cup campaigns to his name, Sydney-born Kepu has been a natural choice for the Moana men. Kepu was the first prop to reach the 100 Test milestone for Australia and he is their most capped prop of all time. In total, Kepu has played 295 first-class matches including 141 appearances for the Waratahs and he brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to the emerging talent of Moana Pasifika.

    I've got some divided loyalties in this match with the number of Magpies in that backline.

    With just under a fortnight until Super Rugby Pacific kicks-off, here's a possible Moana Pasifika side that could open the new campaign.

    From what I've seen in the game against the Chiefs, Alex McRobbie was the best MP forward. He should be in the starting XV, as a lock or a blindside flanker.

    @Duluth I must be one of the few Ferners that have watched games at Prince Charles Park in Nadi, Teufaiva Stadium in Nukualofa, Churchill Park in Lautoka, and Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka. Have also been to Apia Park and ANZ Stadium in Suva but not watched any games there. Honourable mentions also to Hunterville Domain and Collingwood Rec ground I think it is called amongst what would be well over 200 to 300 grounds I have watched a rugby game at!
