THE first steps toward creating a Pacific Island Super Rugby team could be taken via the NRC, with confirmation expected on Friday that Fiji will enter the domestic Australian tournament.
The nine-team competition will kick off on September 2, and Fiji is set to play its first match at Ballymore against Brisbane City.
It’s believed Fiji will host their first NRC game in round three in Sigatoka, against NSW Country Eagles.
