@bovidae interesting Reihana is playing for Taranaki, thought he may have got a run for Waikato even though he's signed for Northland....I guess Waikato are not to happy about that, or maybe just wanting to give as much time as possible to their flyhalf options for the coming season.

From Waikato's perspective I see no point in using Reihana either. The Waikato team is named some time tomorrow so we'll see who gets the no.10 jersey. It could be Coombes-Fabling or one of the young 1st 5s. Coby Miln was on the fringes of the Waikato squad last year so is another option.
I expect Sullivan to be released to play as he is never in the Chiefs match-day squad.

The other young 1st 5 I am referring to is Tepaea Cook-Savage.
there seem to be more double-barreled surnames than in Sydney private school First XVs

@mariner4life Yeah, and what's happened to manly rugby names like Colin, Kelvin and Brian.

@mikedogz Is that the Counties B Team or is it the best of the non Super Rugby players still floating round in your province?

Here are the updated squads for the games tomorrow.
https://www.chiefs.co.nz/news-item/chiefs-country-centurion-cup-squad-lists
Poihipi, Van Den Hoven and Kapeli are in the BOP squad.
-
@stargazer Hetet plays for Otorohanga so was basically loaned to BOP last year (or not wanted by Waikato).

Like Alaimalo at the Chiefs, Tiatia also got out of the last year of his contract with the Canes.
Instead, he is embracing the ‘super-sub’ role – one which looks set to continue for him against the Blues in Hamilton on Saturday night, with the Chiefs likely to stick with Kaleb Trask and McKenzie as their starting 10-15.
No McKenzie at 10 this weekend then. Article also mentioned that Tiatia signed a. 2 year deal.

I think moving DMac during a game is a good option. He doesn’t do as well at 10 when he starts there. Starting at 15 gives him a chance to watch the pattern of play from the opposition and take advantage of it later on.
