The Super Rugby Pacific franchise Moana Pasifika has collapsed after its majority owner, the Pasifika Medical Association, declared it unviable. The collapse comes as rugby league pursues an aggressive expansion into the Pacific islands with a $240 million war-chest, threatening rugby union's traditional dominance in Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and the Cook Islands.
