Japanese Super Rugby franchise the Sunwolves have retained the starting team that was beaten 13-26 by the Lions for their match against the Cheetahs in Singapore.
Sunwolves coach Mark Hammett has chosen to retain his starting XV for the Cheetahs but brought in Takuma Asahara and Mifiposeti Paea on the replacements bench.
