As posted by @Yeetyaah. I do find it funny that RugbyPass reported this yesterday before an official media release.

1::25 training on the river at Cambridge. Lovely. NZ teams are so blessed to train around such natural beauty.

@nonpartizan I wouldn't want to be training in the heat and humidity of last week and this week.

An article about Isaac Hutchinson. He is aiming to be available mid-season after returning to play via Waikato club rugby.

Taukei’aho will miss the first two rounds as he has a late-start clause in his NZR contract.

Also, I hadn't seen it mentioned but the article says the Chiefs will play the Hurricanes on Feb 7 in Porirua in their second pre-season game.

I made the mistake of reading the comments under the article ... took me back to the trolling of the earlier days of the internet.
