    NRL Premiership winner Jamie Soward believes Mana Pasifika should become New Zealand's second team in the Australian rugby league competition

    NRL Premiership winner Jamie Soward believes Mana Pasifika should become New Zealand's second team in the Australian rugby league competition

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    The Maori-Pacific consortium launched its bid last week but will have to compete against three South Island bids.

    Given the strong make-up of Pacific Island players in the NRL, Soward thinks it's a no-brainer to introduce a team that has a strong connection to Polynesian culture.
