[QUOTE="saulan, post: 939111, member: 60236"] One of the theories is confirmed, JRFU withdrew financial underwriting of the Sunwolves, rest of the countries weren't interested in taking on the financial risk and said cheers. [URL]https://rugby365.com/tournaments/super-rugby/news-super-rugby/breaking-news-sunwolves-get-super-rugby-boot[/URL] Seems that Japan Rugby are the ones not interested in this then, or not interested in Super Rugby at least. Which isn't really surprising given how the team has been treated to begin with and discussed above (BarBar team with best Top League Japanese players not participating and constant player shuffling). One positive is that they are still playing 2020, so if there is a major turnaround of spectator interest there could be some turnaround, but it seems unlikely at this stage. [/QUOTE]
