Moana Pasifika face Fiji Drua in opening Super Rugby match

One match-up puts the Pacific firmly in Super Rugby Pacific in this weekend's opening round of the new season. Auckland's Mt Smart Stadium is expected to be full of life as Moana Pasifika host the Fijian Drua to start their respective 2023 campaigns. Clay Wilson caught up with Moana Pasifika's star first-five Christian Leali'ifano - and started by asking the former Wallabies playmaker about how much smoother preparations had been compared to the debut season in 2022.
