Moana Pasifika 2025

For a guy like Savea that is likely to have a heavy test load, it must actually be refreshing to not have to worry about the last stages of playoffs. He'll get a nice rest. I can see that being a big plus for him.

I think Ardie moving to MP is a brilliant move that actually benefits MP and the Canes.
I'm not sure it will benefit Ardie, as he is goig from one of the better set ups (and best facilities) to whatever Tana has and is doing. But I guess he has the experience to bounce up to international, but the last 3 games have proven that might take time
He's also factored in another sabbatical in 2026 so I'm a lot happier that he's moving on now. Imagine if he stayed and then our young guys pissed off, and then he took a year off. Would have left the Canes right in the shit.
-
It all makes sense now. Remember how emotional he was post-match in the quarter-final the Canes lost (in controversial circumstances) against the Brumbies in Canberra in 2023?
That was actually his last match for the Canes. He probably knew back then that he'd probably played his last match for the Canes.

Moana Pasifika make crucial signing at first five for 2024
Moana Pasifika has secured another critical signing for its Super Rugby Pacific 2025 squad.
Pat Pellegrini, a first five-eighths with the rising Coventry club in England, has been bought out of his last year of contract with the side to join Moana Pasifika. The Sydney-born Tongan 25-year-old played at last year's Rugby World Cup, making his mark with a try against the world champion South Africa side.

Weird signing considering both Tongan 10s Havili and Pellegrini are there with Afa Moleli waiting in the wings.

I'm very happy the Canes didn't sign JGB, he's very limited at Super level.

And I assume D'Angelo Leuila, who played very well for Samoa in the games I watched.

Ah yes forgot to mention him, he gets used more at 12 for Moana though and u assume he'll be used again there or off the bench.

@Canes4life Totally agree was very happy when I saw this. He’s not a bad player but he’s not what we need at the Canes at the moment we already have Cameron taking that position.

Pone Fa'amausili has signed for 2025.

A great signing.
Wonder if we'll get a video of him getting congratulated by all his friends and family.
