"Away" jerseys. Why?
Alternative jerseys in case of a clash. Sure.
Light coloured jerseys when playing on hot sunny days. Yep.
But "away" for the sake of it? Dumb as a bag of hammers.
Edit: especially when this "away" jerseys bear absolutely no resemblance to your normal team colours.

I can't think of any other reason though.

The idea is that by wearing them for all the away fixtures people are more likely to buy them. Personally I think that's rubbish because people will buy the jersey they like regardless of whether they wear it only when it clashes or every away fixture.

Clayton McMillan has been appointed as interim Head Coach of the Gallagher Chiefs for next year’s Investec Super Rugby campaign, as announced today by the Chiefs Rugby Club and New Zealand Rugby.
McMillan has signed a one-year contract with New Zealand Rugby to coach the Gallagher Chiefs while Head Coach Warren Gatland leads the British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa. McMillan will take up the role after he has completed his Mitre 10 Cup duties with the Bay of Plenty Steamers

The Chiefs, like China, tapping into the powerhouse that is BoP!
We'll milk that Championship final win for all it's worth

McMillan was always the logical choice if the Chiefs were looking within the region. I wonder if Matson put his hand up or was content to remain an assistant?
As to the injury to Ta'avao, that puts more pressure on Moli who is playing big minutes when he was likely to be sharing the load at LH prop with Ross. Geldenhuys will do a job until Laulala returns.

Some more information behind the Chiefs Country Centurion Cup. I hadn't realised that the Chiefs Dev team will only play one game this season.
