The Sunwolves will look to avoid another mauling after a torrid start to the Tokyo franchises first season in Super Rugby when they face Los Jaguares on Saturday, live on Sky Sports 2.Last weeks humiliating 92-17 defeat by the Cheetahs left the Sunwolves winless after seven games but the Jaguares, also embarking on their first campaign in Super Rugby, have won just once themselves.Its all about overcoming adversity together, said Sunwolves head coach Mark Hammett. The great thing about being a sportsman is that your ego gets smacked a few times but you need to get back out and face the demon.After being torn to shreds last weekend in Bloemfontein, former Springboks coach Nick Mallett called Hammetts side embarrassing in a scathing attack on television.Hammett described the performance as a one-off, as he attempted to bolster the Sunwolves damaged morale.Weve returned back physically pretty well from South Africa though theres always an element of jetlag. Were focused on parts of the game where we can be energy-efficient, said the former All Black.Hammett has made just two changes as he challenges his players to restore pride with a maiden victory against a Jaguares side featuring 13 of the Argentina side who reached the semi-finals of last years World Cup. Los Jaguares won their debut game in Super Rugby but have lost their last six fixtures However, the visitors expect a backlash from a Sunwolves side keen to banish the memory of one of Super Rugbys worst ever defeats.We need to be good in the forwards in the scrum and line-out and we need to be good in defence. We are expecting a tough game, said Jaguares captain Agustin Creevy.The Sunwolves joined Super Rugby on the back of Japans astonishing performance at the World Cup where the Brave Blossoms won three pool games, including a 34-32 shock upset over two-time champions South Africa.But delays to naming playing and coaching staff ate into valuable preparation time during pre-season, and the squads lack of depth has been found badly wanting.

Madrid is third in the Spanish league, six points behind leader Barcelona, going into Saturdays game against Valladolid.COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Sindarius Thornwell scored 22 points and South Carolina cruised to a 92-50 victory over South Carolina State on Friday night.Playing their fourth game in eight days, the Gamecocks (4-0) took control of the game early against their neighbors from nearby Orangeburg.It was good to see us playing active on the glass, at the rim, said USC coach Frank Martin. That was one thing I had been a little disappointed in with our team after the first three games. I didnt think we were rebounding the ball any where near as good as we needed to on either side of the floor.The Gamecocks held a 47-24 rebounding advantage with forwards Maik Kotsar and Chris Silva combining for 15 rebounds.The Bulldogs (1-2) attempted to press South Carolina early. The tactic didnt work, however, as the Gamecocks out-muscled their opponents inside while also making long-range jumpers.Kotsar got the Gamecocks off to a quick start, scoring eight of his 15 points in the first 10 minutes. After that Thornwell, a preseason first team All-SEC pick, took over. He had 16 in the first half.USCs lead consistently increased. It took a 50-25 advantage at halftime and didnt let up when it returned.The Gamecocks connected on 33 of their 65 shots (51 percent), while limiting South Carolina State to 16 of 52 (31 percent).South Carolinas pressure defense proved a bit too much for the Bulldogs.We pressured them, made them, made them try to score from half-court, said Thornwell. We didnt let them get into what they wanted to run. Its hard when you have to score from half-court rather than the 3-point line. Its better for our defense because it forced them into bad shots.Eric Eaves, a Columbia native, led South Carolina State in scoring with 16.The Gamecocks ability to push South Carolina State out of its comfort zone, offensively, was expected by Bulldogs coach Murray Garvin.The main stat that jumps out to me is the 30 second chance points, said Garvin.dddddddddddd South Carolina had more offensive rebounds, it was 17 to 8 on the offensive glass. I really thought the second chance points, also the points off turnovers, was the difference in the game.BIG PICTURESouth Carolina State: The Bulldogs never got on track, mostly due to inconsistent shooting. They connected on just 16 of 52 of their field goal attempts (31 percent).South Carolina: With most of their experience in the backcourt, the Gamecocks continued to work on improving their inside play. Kotsar was impressive, making all seven of his shots and grabbing eight rebounds with two blocks. Silva, despite picking up two early fouls, scored 11 points and pulled down seven rebounds.The game is not perfect, Martin said. You make mistakes. What you cant do is, when you make a mistake, give up on a play. I thought we were a lot more active today on the glass, defensively.STILL SEARCHINGSouth Carolina State has to find a way to get better shots for Eaves, its leading scorer. Although he led the Bulldogs, USC made it difficult. He was also the only regular that hit more than 50 percent if his shots.We told out basketball team thats what we expect this year, especially against the high major opponents, Garvin said. Theyre bigger, stronger, faster. Ive got a lot of new guys in our program and this is the second time theyve played against this kind of athleticism.South Carolina, to me, is one of the better defensive teams weve faced. It wasnt anything that surprised us. We just couldnt do anything about it.UP NEXTSouth Carolina State returns to action Tuesday when it travels north to take on Syracuse in another encounter that is part of the Brooklyn Hoops Holiday Invitational.South Carolina hosts Michigan on Wednesday.
