[QUOTE="Brigantine, post: 889734, member: 73940"] First opponents are the Brumbies, in Tokyo As a guide to what sort of form they're in, their pre-season results were a [URL='https://www.brumbies.com.au/2018/02/brumbies-show-off-strength-queanbeyan-trial/']50-19 win[/URL] over the Rebels, and a [URL='http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-union/brumbies/waikato-chiefs-too-strong-for-brumbies-in-super-rugby-trial-on-sunshine-coast-20180214-h0w2r3.html']38-26 loss[/URL] to the Chiefs. By comparison last season those results were 32-3 and 28-10, so the pre-season results are broadly in line with expectations, just a few points better. According to an [URL='http://www.canberratimes.com.au/rugby-union/brumbies/act-brumbies-scrap-preseason-cotton-wool-prepare-to-name-super-rugby-captain-20180127-h0p6l1.html']article 3 weeks ago[/URL], there's a focus on avoiding a slow start to the season. Sounds like they don't want to underestimate the Sunwolves! AFAIK the Sunwolves haven't had any pre-season matches, except the 3 guys who played for the Wild Knights in the Brisbane 10s, so there won't be any real indication of the Sunwolves' form until kickoff.
