Where have you seen this. Results and performances better than ever this year and would seem strange with the World Cup in Japan

Thank you Ellis9 hadn’t seen that. Would be a shame but I suppose it’s either them or the Argentinians, who seem to use the Jaguares as development for the Pumas national side, whereas the Sunwolves seem to have fewer Japanese players every week.

So I guess the Fijian team is a no go then too?

One player from the Sunwolves I’d like to see is JJ Taulagi at Tigers. He may actually have already left Sunwolves thinking about it.
Ex Queensland Reds and Samoa wing/fullback.
Looks to have a bit of the Goneva’s about him, fast feet and offloads.
Stories he relocated to the UK in the hope of getting a move to Exeter but didn’t happen.

Expected and not the end of the world. Has potential but been curtailed by injuries and illness. But better English prospects in the league with Willis, Earl, Curry twins.

Reffell in my mind is the better talent and will let him come through into the first team.

Odd that Evans has chosen to leave though as when fit he has been given chances. Can’t really blame the club.

A sad loss, as he has so much potential, We just have to accept it, and get over it. These things happen in the game..

Unfulfilled potential and there is no way of knowing if it ever will be

Not surprised. That injury he did when he was out for 16 months really stalled his prgression.
Grahamslaw and lines coming up and Gigena proving to clever signing.

Quins signing Lewies so that article is looking accurate.
