Chiefs 2021

@higgins I always assume (and that may be entirely wrong), that several provinces giver their wider training group the name of their development team. Like Hawke's Bay Saracens up until the Magpies squad is named; Manawatu Evergreens; etc.

Here are the updated squads for the games tomorrow.

Poihipi, Van Den Hoven and Kapeli are in the BOP squad.

Like Alaimalo at the Chiefs, Tiatia also got out of the last year of his contract with the Canes.
-
Instead, he is embracing the ‘super-sub’ role – one which looks set to continue for him against the Blues in Hamilton on Saturday night, with the Chiefs likely to stick with Kaleb Trask and McKenzie as their starting 10-15.
No McKenzie at 10 this weekend then. Article also mentioned that Tiatia signed a. 2 year deal.

I think moving DMac during a game is a good option. He doesn’t do as well at 10 when he starts there. Starting at 15 gives him a chance to watch the pattern of play from the opposition and take advantage of it later on.
