Chiefs 2025

Will be interesting to see what happens next week in the Chiefs midfield. There's a possibility all three of Quinn Tupaea, Gideon Wrampling and Emoni Narawa are out through injury (as well as Anton Lienert-Brown and Rameka Poihipi).
Personally wouldn't want to see Manasa Mataele in the centres but he did get some minutes there in the pre-season so I suppose he's the front-runner, otherwise you'd think they'd have to bring in someone like Gibson Popoali'i? Jack Wiseman is heading north with the Under 20s and could be a temporary option while David Lewai is a non-travelling reserve.
Is Willis Halaholo around? Could the Chiefs whistle in a JRLO player whose season has finished, say Malakai Fekitoa
-
Dwayne Sweeney could still go around surely

Always willing and able.

@Mr-Fish Narawa should be back based on comments from McMillan, and I wouldn't count out Tupaea just yet (HIA dependent). Popoali'i was in Dunedin with the squad.

Any details on that? Hope he's available for the NPC.

Ahio first appeared on the injured list before the MP game. I don't know whether it happened at training or in a club game.
