The Lions heaped more misery on the Sunwolves with a comfortable 37-24 victory at Singapore's National Stadium yesterday, a

day after it was announced the Japanese side would be cut from Super Rugby after the 2020 season.

Hooker Malcolm Marx scored a first-half brace as the Lions led 12-7 at the break, while Nic Groom, Elton Jantjies, Lionel Mapoe and Hacjivah Dayimani all crossed in the second half for the Johannesburg-based side.

Rahboni Warren Vosayaco managed to muster two second-half scores for the Sunwolves to add to an early penalty try, but the

performance brought little optimism for rugby in Japan as the nation prepares to showcase its development in the sport as hosts of the World Cup. - Reuters
