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.
(curtain-raiser to Chiefs vs Highlanders)
FMG Stadium Waikato
Friday, March 30
Kick Off: 5pm -
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.

All good bro just kidding. Only had the Blues team list. Maybe someone else has a Chiefs team list.

Has Harrison Levien moved north of the Bombays? With Jack Stratton coming to Waikato and Kylem O’Donnell returning home maybe he's moved too.

Yea was surprised to see Levien in the Blues lineup. Don't think hes in the Auckland setup so maybe Northland or Harbour? Not looking good for Nock I reckon.

Now, speaking before the team's training session on Monday, Cooper said McKenzie "is a work in progress, so one to two weeks with him", leaving the possibility open of him playing the Hurricanes.
Cooper is hopeful co-captain Charlie Ngatai (hamstring) will be fit to play, after being a late scratching at the weekend, and said halfback Brad Weber (wrist) will return in either of the next two games, needing to see how both come through the week, while Tyler Ardron - who has done a sterling job slotting in at lock - would go through concussion protocols this week.
Lock Michael Allardice (groin) came through a club rugby hitout on Saturday and is available now after missing the last three games, while No 8 Taleni Seu is also back in contention after a back niggle ruled him out last weekend.
Cooper also confirmed that prop Kane Hames' ailment, which had to date been labelled a 'mystery illness', was indeed concussion-related, and that the All Blacks loosehead would be working his way through the protocols required before being considered to return to play.

@nogusta Northland picked up Jonno Kitto at 9 this year, Nock still on contract...so I guess they need a 3rd, but I haven't heard anything about anyone else yet.

Confirmation that Nick White has joined the Chiefs coaching staff. He's been in the coaches box for the last few games

@duluth I always thought he was much better when he was at the Blues as scrum coach before moving on to a rather unsuccessful head coach role.

Ross' misfortune follows that of fellow props Kane Hames, who is going through concussion protocols; Mitchell Graham, who will be back running next week following a leg injury; Atu Moli, whose season is over after a quad hematoma; Nepo Laulala, who broke his arm against the Blues on May 2; and Sefo Kautai, who is battling back from a foot problem.
Cooper confirmed halfback Brad Weber would return this weekend, after a wrist injury kept him out of the past two games, and that loose forward/lock Tyler Ardron (concussion) and winger Toni Pulu (shoulder) are possibilities, after missing the Hurricanes game, while No 8 Taleni Seu will be out for one to two weeks after a back niggle resurfaced in the capital and saw him leave the field before halftime.
