[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 865854, member: 40658"] I don't think a comparison can be drawn between the Sunwolves and the 2019 RWC. Super Rugby was looking to expand into new markets and the obvious choices were Argentina and Japan due to their affiliations with South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Using your argument would then also say that the Jaguares were created for the same purpose as the Sunwolves. But Argentina isn't hosting the 2019 RWC and is not bidding to host the 2023 RWC. Due to so many South Africans, Australian and New Zealanders playing in Japan even before the Sunwolves were created, would have been an option alone to involve Japan in the expansion of Super Rugby, purely because AUS, NZ and SA are looking at ways to prevent their players from going to europe and not be available for international selection.
