A new bid to rescue Moana Pasifika has emerged, with a consortium led by a Los Angeles-based tech multimillionaire exploring plans to relocate the Super Rugby franchise to Hawaii, RNZ understands.
The proposal has emerged just days after shareholders voted to appoint liquidators to the team's holding company. Moana Pasifika ended its season with a 21-19 win over the Brumbies on Saturday night, in what many feared could have been the club's final match.
RNZ understands the Hawaii-based proposal is separate from the Kanaloa Rugby bid, which has been linked to previous efforts to secure Moana Pasifika's future.
