WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Super Rugby Pacific begins on Friday, carrying more importance in a World Cup year in which it will be part of the limited preparation of the national teams. The tournament may be more important still for returning Wallabies head coach Eddie Jones, whose relatively short lead-in to the World Cup kicking off in September means the Super Rugby season will be his first chance to accurately map the Australian rugby landscape.

Fiji Drua, who had a badly disrupted debut Super Rugby Pacific season, have been given a boost with several of their 2023 games to be played in Fiji.

Four coaches have been shortlisted for the Flying Fijians coaching job.

Pacific-related rugby and sports news in brief.

Scott Robertson is refusing to make further comment on any potential progress with the All Blacks coaching appointment process.
