Super Rugby Pacific is set to launch in 2022, replacing the previous Super Rugby competition. The new competition will feature five teams from New Zealand and five teams from the Pacific Islands, marking a positive step towards inclusivity and providing opportunities for players from the Pacific Islands [e7a242b7]. However, concerns have been raised by players regarding the financial disparity between the New Zealand teams and the Pacific Island teams. Players are calling for a fair distribution of revenue and resources to ensure a level playing field. The launch of Super Rugby Pacific is scheduled for next year, and it is hoped that the competition will bring about positive change and growth in rugby in the Pacific Islands [e7a242b7].
