Sunwolves grab former Force duo

Friday 20 Jan 2017

Sam Wykes, who racked up 87 caps during his eight seasons at the Perth franchise, and league convert William Tupou, who earned 13 caps, will be running out in the colours of the Sunwolves this season.

The pair are joined by Japan international flank Shunsuke Nunomaki, as the franchise's latest signings.

Wykes made his Force debut in 2008 before parting ways with them in 2015 to take up a contract with Japanese side the Red Sparks. Tupou, who also plays for the Red Sparks, is a former North Queensland Cowboys player in the NRL.

Nunomaki began his senior playing career with the Wild Knights in 2015 and won the Top League that year, making eight appearances.

The flank made his international debut against Georgia in Tblisi on November 12, 2016 and went on to earn a total of three caps.
