Chiefs 2018

I wonder what Keepa Mewett is doing currently? I don't think it is right picking overseas internationals like Rarasea ahead of local players, especially when he just played for Fiji last week.

Keepa Mewett
Have to admit, I had to look him up. I don't get to see that much NPC at the moment and only make the extra effort to watch CM games.
From my quick googling I gather he can be good.
Sad that we are scraping around names that wouldn't normally be considered though.
Does the rule that squad places can be filled from other franchise WTG contracts still exist? Not that WTGs really exist anyway, but I think the contractual term may do.

He has a gym in Tauranga, so is in Chiefs zone. Played for NZ Maori and played well against the Lions last year. Doesn't play for Taranaki though..., just BOP. But worthy of Super contract consideration nonetheless.
I thought McWhannell has looked great at a higher level too - far more physical than Caird.

Agree with that. Caird is a lightweight so needs to bulk up. McWhannell is only 19 though.
Last year the Chiefs had C-M lock Matiaha Martin in the expanded squad. Where is he now?

Chiefs U20’s v Hurricanes U20’s
Saturday 24th March
Owen Delaney Park, Taupo
Kick-off 1.30pmHaven't seen the team lists (yet).

Have you found a final score?
The Chiefs are terrible updating team list/scores for their other teams.
Someone has posted 53-5 to the Chiefs(?).
@bovidae Found it. The final score was 51 - 5 (HT: 27 - 5).
Doesn't really surprise me. That Canes team is very young for an U20 team and included several players who've never been in a Hurricanes rep team before.
By the way, I just found the Chiefs line-up:

Cheers. I would have thought Matoe would be starting for the Chiefs.
Not only did Taranaki sign Vai'i from C-M, but Fa'ukafa from Waikato.
BTW, Charles Alaimalo was playing Waikato club rugby today for Marist. Another players involved in Chiefs/NZ age group teams (Siave Seti) was in the same team.

University of Waikato Chiefs Taua Development team play the Blues Development team before then.

Thanks for the video but it doesn't help with the team list or the score (unless you want to watch the full game and keep a running score). I assume the Blues won if they took a last minute penalty.

I wasn't criticising you. Some of us were just curious who played in the game and what the final score was.
