[QUOTE="Brigantine, post: 902791, member: 73940"] I watched the 2nd half. Unfortunately I can't see this as a turning point. This was their last game of the season in Japan [SIZE=2](and their record playing overseas is appalling)[/SIZE], and after this weekend they lose their head coach. [SIZE=2](he has national duty. Temporary head coaches: Tony Brown and Scott Hansen)[/SIZE]. The 3 new players they just signed have zero SR caps between them [SIZE=2](and only 4 test caps)[/SIZE]. Most of all, they've already been in this position after they destroyed the Blues last season, and that wasn't a turning point. As I said at the start, they had all the stars aligning in their favour for this year, and they have no excuses for a poor season. If they win more than 1 or 2 games on their final 6 week tour, it will be very surprising. If the Sunwolves are going to turn the corner, I think it will only happen *after* the RWC, when they start making strategic decisions based on what's good for the club, and not as mainly a development tool for the national team. (That is, if they still have a license!) [/QUOTE]
