    The Sunwolves have been officially put out to Super Rugby pasture

    The Sunwolves have been officially put out to Super Rugby pasture


    The Japanese franchise and Rugby Australia have concluded the Sunwolves will be unable to participate in the Australian-conference only competition due to start in July.

    Travel restrictions mean like the NRL's Warriors, the Sunwolves would have to quarantine for a two week period, if allowed to enter the country and then find a permanent base for the 12-week competition.

    It's been decided that isn't feasible.

    The Sunwolves weren't part of the planned 2021 revamp of Super Rugby, which now looks in serious doubt.
