Quade Cooper backs Japan's innovative concept for Super Rugby Pacific

Japan wants to play cross-border matches between their league and Australian and New Zealand Super Rugby teams. Quade Cooper supports the proposal. The proposal has the support of Japan Rugby League One chairman Genichi Tamatsuka. Australia and NZ are at odds over broadcast revenue. The Australian Rugby Union wants the current agreement to end in 2023. New Zealander rugby union wants Australian teams to be split equally. Japan want to keep their relationship with both national bodies. They want more games between them and the Australian sides. Marika Koroibete and Samu Kerevi play in Japan.
