The score is unreported on rugby.com.au link not worth referencing due to bias reporting not mentioning the score but talking about their spectacular relationship (despite the Sunwolves about to get the chop, glorious relationship, go near the rebels and sayonara!!!)

GRR with the Sunwolves- heres hoping!
I thought the article said something like 'they were opposed contact game scenarios', ie, no score.
No score in a preseason trial? Umm what's next, scores dont count it's all about effort and participation awards...hmmmmm
It's a pre season trial, essentially an opposed training session, we've seen all sorts of tricks over the years that confirm that a result is rarely what the teams are interested in
I am though.. the fact the result has been covered up makes me more intrigued. Did the sunwolves who face relegation win? If so they deserve the acknowledgement.... it's like their history is painted in glory!!Quote:

They name a full strength side while their opposition play the possibles, sometimes swapping players into unfamiliar positions to see how they go
One team doesn't kick th ball at all, giving up field position and working on red zone defence and playing posession because they need it.
Entire squads are rotated willy nilly in an attempt to find unproven combinations
and my personal favourite
a team plays only the plays that they know theyre not going to use during the season to put scouts off the scent of what they'll actually do.
When I was like you, and believed that trial form was an indicator of potential to win during the season I bet my hair that the Force beat the Tahs.
Ask some real Force fans how that went for me!
It wasn't an actual "pre season" match, it was more a "friendly" as part of their new partnership is my understanding.
It was a romantic love making exercise with two winners!Quote:
