@Bovidae Hadn't noticed before that Ross Filipo is back in the country and coaching at the Chiefs. Thought he was still coaching in Japan.
@Stargazer Filipo was coaching Waikato in the CCCC, and might still have a house in Hamilton. I know some of the out-of-town Chiefs used to live there when he was overseas.
As to the team, excluding all of the BOP players unavailable, I expected Vaa'i to be involved, Finau as well. Maybe he is injured. I also don't remember Sullivan playing fullback before.

I was speaking to a Chiefs player while buying lunch and asked about the colour of the new jersey. Based on his reply, it seems more of the same with these pastel colours. We'll see...

RE Vaa'i, Under 20's have been doing some camps recently I think.
That makes sense.
I wouldn't be surprised if Samipeni Finau is playing for the opposition.

@Bovidae Filipo is working for Waikato Rugby, coached club rugby last season, helped out with the M10 Cup team too
-
@OleOleOle Yeah, he was involved with Marist previously. Good to keep him around.

I just saw some kids at the stadium wearing a bright pink and black Chiefs jersey. Here's hoping that's not it.
