@cheetahsBO but they are looking at expansion of the game, and the Asian market is big, if they can get a competitive team and grow it there, it will be good long term.
NOt saying it's right, just that I expect that is what they will be wanting/hoping....
You're right.
But they're stupid to think it will work. They'll support a competitive national side but not a bunch of also-rans getting pummelled and who are 75% foreigners. Just not gonna work.
The support for their national team has increased as they've got better from having >100 points scored against them...

He is probably having the same problem I am 'video is unavailable'

@Crucial That's weird; when I posted the link to the decision on Sanchez' citing, the video was still available.
Here's another link: http://www.espn.com.ar/video/clip/_/id/3025524
That's awesome. For once the jumping player that creates the danger gets cited.
The judiciry would have got into a right tangle though if neither player caught the ball because Sanchez lands on his head.
Double Red?Same issue as with the Leitch RC. Once they decide low entry point it will always only be one week unless the player has form.

@Stargazer I didn't realize until the end of last season that the best players weren't made available for the Sunwolves - they are essentially the Brumbies of Japanese rugby. With that model, they are never going to be competitive.
-
@JayCee Kensuke Hatakeyama is one who hasn't been involved the last 2 years. Don't know why, has played 70 odd tests and has been an automatic selection for Japan at TH prop for several years. Presumably Suntory pays him enough? Kosei Ono another Suntory player not involved who has played a lot of tests, and is arguably Japan's first choice at 10.
-
Almost no facts in this article about which Aussie team should go. But speculation about a merger:
Rebels confident, Brumbies in firing lineThe Brumbies finances and those old fraud allegations should make them favourite to go. However, it would be a shame to throw away the 20+ year history. Maybe the Rebels organisation can take over the name? The Victorian Brumbies?

I don't even see why the Sunwolves were added. There is probably more money in the Japanese league than there is in super rugby as it is.
Unless JAL / ANA sponsored it.

This is the before and after pictures of Brad Webers injury....
Thats his femur
-
Yuuuuck
-
...Brad Weber making a clean break from the game...
-
@Baron-Silas-Greenback That's astonishing.
-
Insane. I too have a broken femur..no where near as impressive as that though, no cast, no crutches just a sore knee and no chance of getting a seat on a crowded tram. It's amazing how quickly sports guys get back on their feet and into the game after that much damage.
