    Been given some oil, not sure how reliable it is. Quinn Tupaea out for 6 weeks with an ankle injury.

    At least it is a position that the Chiefs have some depth in, provided the others are all fit.

      Has anyone signed up for Chiefs Pass? I assume there is a cost when they want CC details.

      The game against the Hurricanes will be streamed on that platform so I was wondering if it was worth it.

        @Bovidae a good mate of mine did and gave me his login but I haven't used it. It went a while without any updates, around a month or so and he reckons the stuff isn't groundbreaking.

          So the ABs are finally back training but won't be involved on Saturday.

          Although it's only the first pre-season game I'll be interested to see what team McMillan selects, particularly the loose forward trio and who starts at 1st 5 (Jacomb or Trask). Maybe the local boy gets first crack.

            Is that the only way to see the game or are they doing a live stream on Youtube?

              @Canes4life I've no idea. The game doesn't look to be on Sky at this stage.

                  Some of the games were on Sky Sport as well. Hopefully they stream a couple at least.

                        Maybe some other niggles in the midfield group. No ALB yet, and there wasn't any cover amongst the WTG and extras.

                            Leone Nawai is a former Drua, a halfback. Now with Taranaki.
                            Ethan Reti is a Taranaki utility back.

                              Apart from the ABs and Shaun Stevenson, there is no Fiti Sa, Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi (hence two extra halfbacks), Kaleb Trask, Quinn Tupaea (as mentioned), Emoni Narawa and Liam Coombes-Fabling.

                              The Hurricanes have named 47 players compared to the Chiefs 37.

                                @Bovidae is Jacomb the only 10 in the whole line up? Not familiar enough with the bench names

                                  @DurryMexted Koller would be the backup in this squad. Not too many options at fullback either.

                                      Yes, he would be the other option at 1st 5 from the starters.

                                        Changes to the starting XV and reserves post-training today.

                                        8 Malachi Wrampling -> Kaylum Boshier
                                        34 Manaaki Boyle-Tiatia -> Micah Fale (didn't really need three hookers amongst the reserves)
                                        37 Gibson Popoalii

                                          From the Waikato Times:

                                          • Coombes-Fabling had off-season knee surgery, will miss the first few rounds
                                          • Narawa had wrist surgery so will be eased back into play
                                          • Tupaea had his foot stood on at training

                                          McMillan is bemoaning the lack of quality outside backs that aren't already in SR squads or aren't in the NZ sevens programme.
