[QUOTE="saulan, post: 938900, member: 60236"] That comment section is filled with people that really aren't fans of South Africa. Many saying just get rid of South Africa not taking into account that this is where most of the money in the tournament comes from. On your point, I don't think it's revenge. SARU has never wanted Singapore/Japan to begin with given the amount of travel the SA teams already have to do to participate in the tournament. To be fair, I am a bit sad to see the Sunwolves go, as I did think they were improving. but [USER=59145]@SomeOke[/USER] made a really good point in that most of the players in the team aren't Japanese. It's really a Barbarians team and is not really representative of Japanese rugby to begin with. I think the Sunwolves probably got brought into this competition way too soon. Look at the Jaguares, they are a strong team made up of (I think completely of) Argentinians. The Sunwolves should only have been let in after the World Cup when there was a much stronger interest developed in the country with players from the Top League. This has been a mess from the start.
