moli must be getting close
Has he been playing club rugby in Blenheim? The other players have been active over the last few weeks. Punivai was listed to play in Taranaki club rugby on Saturday.
The Chiefs have been surviving using only 4 props. Proffit has only been in the 23 once.

What role do you see for Moli? I agree that a fully fit and mobile Moli would be a great bench TH option, and provide more options and allow rotation. Dyer has made a huge difference to the stability of the scrum since he has started, but Moli would definitely offer more than Ryan around the field.

Dyer is going well in my view. Thought Taukeiaho might have an enforced rest this week though.
Hoping to see Nankivell back to add some penetration on attack.@ARHS said in Chiefs v Drua:

If Lord plays I am looking forward to seeing how he goes. Prior to his injury I thought he appeared like he was somewhat bigger than when he played for the ABs and he was winning his fair share of contact situations.

Yeah the way he was playing is very similar to Retallick eh. Does remind me a bit of Jones the way he runs though.
