Great to have Brodie back. Still feel for the big fellah.
Let him rest during Super Rugby and play some Mitre 10 Cup to get ready for the AB season

An Aussie report of the Chiefs-Brumbies match.

The Blues' recent winning run has come to an abrupt halt at the hands of the Hurricanes in a pre-season game in Warkworth today, but far more concerning for coach Tana Umaga are the injuries to starting loose forwards Jerome Kaino, Jimmy Tupou and Dalton Papali'i.
The trio left the Mahurangi Rugby Club field in the first half and their conditions were not readily available to Umaga afterwards. But he was worried enough to pull fellow loose forwards Murphy Taramai and Akira Ioane from the line of fire in case they too were injured.
Veteran All Black Kaino and the tall, athletic Tupou would have been almost certain starters for the Blues' first match of the new Super Rugby season against the Highlanders in Dunedin next Friday but Kaino, his left knee already heavily strapped, must be a considerable doubt in particular.
Tupou also appeared to injure a leg but it was not immediately known what Papali'i's issue was.
