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.

Draw seems a lot nicer to us this year with alternating home and away games
Cool. a QLD game i can get to!
Good draw, 3 home games before I go to Hawaii for 3 weeks.
Hang on. We played Melbourne and Brisbane at home last year, and Canberra and the Eagles away, too.
I recall every game we played away last year was in Sydney or Canberra, except the final which was Tamworth (still NSW!) At least we're travelling a bit more.
Inn-Forcers/Inn-Spiriters tour to Fiji?
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
Let's go and win the whole fu@king comp again this year and give the ARU another big shit sandwich to chew on!!!
