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.

@yeetyaah I'm expecting a similar starting XV for the Blues game. Maybe Wainui back in the mix.
-
@bovidae Leave ENS out, move Lowe to the left wing, to allow Wainui to play on the right wing?
-
@stargazer Nah, ENS is the only Chiefs winger who has looked threatening with the ball so far. Wainui is more likely to be at centre or in the reserves (my preference if he is in the 23) than on the wing.
-
@yeetyaah I was going to mention that defence is still a work-on for ENS. Ironically, the opposition have been scoring most of their tries on the other flank.
As I said, I'd keep ENS and Lowe as the wingers.

Having a scan through the squads from last Sat, I can't see Kumeroa listed in any team. A LH prop obviously.
Lowe can't be that ill if he is meant to be playing in this game.

@bovidae I'm a bit pissed off about the Lowe situation. Funny he's actually just turned up to the coffee club Te Rapa where I'm having breakfast. I don't know why he's "sick" and can't play vs the Blues but he can play the u20s.
From what I understand, he has missed most or all of the Chiefs' training this week due to illness, and that's why he isn't in the main squad. So not because he's still sick.

It seems a shame that they don’t try to monetize these games with a Super Rugby D1 and D2. We’d get 2 more games per week and we’d be able to see how the squaddies and youngsters are coming along. It might also keep those who are playing consistently in the D2 team from feeling too hard done by.

@mikey07 Is Nathan Harris coming back from injury or is his naming as only a reserve for a reserve team a massive fall in grace?
