Moana Pasifika vs. Crusaders: Moana’s First Competition of the League

Round 3 of the Super Rugby League will commence this week, for which Moana Pasifika and Crusaders will compete on 4 March 2022 at the Forsyth Barr Stadium, New Zealand. The previous weeks’ games for Moana were postponed, but Crusaders scored a win against Hurricanes 42-32 and Highlanders 34-19. The fans will be looking forward to what Moana Pasifika has in store for them this week for their first game of the League.

Moana Pasifika- Intending a Good Start of the Tournament

Moana Pasifika has not had a chance to compete in the Super League yet. The coming match is their first game, and they can be pretty unpredictable with an insignificant history to refer. The last game they played was in 2020 when they lost to New Zealand Maori 28-21. The next match they participate in is their chance of a good start in the League, giving them confidence for future games. Since the team hasn’t been in the game recently, they’ll probably be pressured by their competitors. If Moana wins the game, they gain the upper hand over the really strong Crusaders. However, they’ll have to be quite vigilant and potent to do so.
