The Sunwolves’ new mascot looks like it has been abusing substances

Pinging

Just when you thought it couldn’t get much worse than Partick Thistle.

Japanese rugby outfit, Sunwolves, have gone one scarier again. Make that the  HITO-Communications Sunwolves.

Super Rugby is back and our mornings are glorious again.

In the opening half of the Blues and Highlanders clash – the opening match of the return of Super Rugby – we only saw five tries in 40 minutes. We only saw total rugby and big hits and a bit of improvised genius from Aaron Smith and Waisake Naholo.

So we had to keep ourselves occupied elsewhere and where better than the release of the Sunwolves’ mascot, which was different anyway.

Roughly translates as: ‘Here’s our f**king mascot. There, are you happy?’

Naturally, it didn’t go unnoticed.
