New Zealand Rugby Chairman Brent Impey has hit out at World Rugby and European clubs over their treatment of Pasifika players.
Speaking to First Up on Radio NZ, Impey shared his frustrations at what he said was unfair treatment of Pacific nations at the Rugby World Cup in Japan.
He took particular issue with the eligibility rules for tier two nations.
Impey said World Rugby could and should make the changes needed to help tier two nations.
He believed the organisation also had the power to enforce the rules against European clubs.
Pacific nations are out of the World Cup tournament leaving Japan as the only tier-two nation to get to the quarter-finals.
