Sunwolves vs Chiefs

@baron-silas-greenback The bloody player was in front of Leitch ffs, he literally handed the ball forward to him....here you have it
-
Good team try, although I thought we were going to bomb that at one stage
-
I think ithe Sunwolves were a handy option for the Joseph/Brown combo to get another gig
-
@kiwimurph my thinking is that - if we had to make a choice of kicking teams out - the comp was a lot better off with a stopover game from/to South Africa than with teams like the Sunwolves and Jaguares adding SFA except travel. Though it does help the remaining four Oz teams in the short run.

Did the Chiefs scrum stop pushing there?

Sunwolves should have been kicked out of the comp instead of the Force. A bunch of shithouse locals and has-been expats who’ve added yet another long haul flight to the comp.
Long term we're going to need that money. Think of it as an investment.

The size of their home crowds are remarkable given their on field performances...!

@donsteppa Lets face it SW were never going to be ditched before the RWC
-
The resulting backline movement was worth it.

DMac sure likes these Japanese goalposts, just needs to sharpen up on his d

For on field competitiveness the best option would be a pacific islands side - if you could make the finances work.
Ok that was terrible by Alaimalo.

I could see Polwarts eyes light up then

Alaimalo would have to be on the ABs radar.
I thought he had a poor game - bad one-on-one misses and some tits for hands. He has talent though.
I like Boshier's work too so I expect him to stay at 6. Ardron is bloody athletic so looks a great option off the bench.

The Sunwolves haven't improved much from past seasons, for some reason I've heard the media saying that they have(probably because JJ and Brown are coaching them), but the way they've gone this year is no different to the last two years.
If you look at their results in their first two years compared to this year, there is barely any difference in their trend of results - it's basically an even split of close losses and blowout losses. Last year they actually ran the Chiefs close.
