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.

the QR codes are a little gimmicky but also kind of cool for a 30th anniversary, looks like they take you to clips from important games...chief always a step ahead of the other teams

@Kiwiwomble personally I don't care a bunch about them except for those on the stomach, might have been better as a single one that takes you to a landing page. I saw the design at the jersey launch last year and it looked good, the store photos do it dirty a little bit. I think the red block on the top needs more squares cut out of it. I bought 2 so was always gonna get it.

Samisoni Taukei’aho has done a U-turn on his plan to skip the start of the Super Rugby Pacific season, coming to the rescue for new coach Jono Gibbes after an injury to fellow All Black Brodie McAlister left the Chiefs with a hooker crisis going into their campaign. As reported by the Waikato Times in December, Taukei’aho, the 28-year-old 43-test rep, had been scheduled to sit out the first two rounds of the competition, which kicks off next weekend, as part of a late-start clause in his New Zealand Rugby contract.
The summary is that Tyrone Thompson has a calf injury, Taine Kolose has a knee injury, and Brodie McAlister broke his hand in training last week so is out for the first 2-3 rounds. JJ Pokai or Sione Tupou will be the reserve hooker.
