[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 938851, member: 59145"] Nothing against the Sunwolves and I like having Japan involved BUT: - The Sunwolves often cap their Japan international players, pulling them from the Wolves for large periods. - The Sunwolves change their line-up frequently in order to test combinations for their national team (dropping Parker for Matsuda, bringing it that third choice scrumhalf, dropping Little for Nakamura etc). - Top 14 often keeps players out of the Wolves team and seems to have first rights to the players. In short the Sunwolves are treated like a practice team for the Japanese national team and this has been done since their inclusion in 2017. That is not the way to treat super rugby, if they aren't going to take it seriously than they must go, I'm sorry but that's how I feel. [/QUOTE]
