[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 971850, member: 40658"] Look, it was the JRFU that didn't want to continue with the SR deal. Not SANZAAR. JPRU pulled out. But now, because of the World Cup being over for their team, they want to revise that. For SANZAAR it's about having a financially strong model and trying to keep bums on seats. Now the Sunwolves games were some of the most attended games when they played at home in Japan. So of course SANZAAR will want to keep them involved. But SANZAAR have also spoken about the conference system and that it's not working, which we all knew for a very long time. So the question will be, that should they decide to keep the Sunwolves involved after 2020, will we still have the round robin tournament just with 15 teams instead of 14? [/QUOTE]
