[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 776258, member: 12207"] [COLOR=#464646][FONT=Arial]I gotta say I do wish the Sunwolves had a geographical anchor in their name, so the represent a region. They seem to be going on the theory that all the South African sides embraced a few years back to make them “more accessible” beyond their immediate region, as though that’s an impediment. If it is, someone needs to tell the EPL sides, because it hasn’t hurt them being associated with often hard to place areas of England.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#464646][FONT=Arial]For the Sunwolves and Japanese sides in general they really ought to represent entire regions, and so it would have been good if the Sunwolves represented the Kanto region, which includes greater Tokyo and has a GDP greater than the whole UK.
