And the new Japanese Rugby Team will be called....

But there in a South African conference. That's an 20 flight to Tokyo versus an 11 hour flight to Buenos Aires. Huge difference.

The sunwolves are really wrecking my nerves marketing-wise.
They play an international league and their social media is 99% Japanese. Their English content website holds 1/3 information of the Japanese one. They really need to sort that out to gain more fans + interest. They easily could go bi-lingual.
Also I asked them about merch a couple of times and never got a reply. Annoying.

Guess Japanese market is the biggest thing ATM.

Bums on seats, Xbox many English speakers in Japan and many of the westerners are Americans who have no interest in sport or Aussies who will either already be going or not.

Manufacturers are the ones to speak to regarding kit etc and where they are suppliers.

Gotta say. That looked like a sold out crowd.
And they were enjoyable to watch.

Not a bad start at all.

Anyone seen their mascot?

Yeh Olyy posted it on the eng/ire match thread when talking about furries (for whatever reason).

Extremely creepy.
