@hooroo Hopefully, Waikato will get Luke Jacobson back from the injury ward. I think leaving him out of the squad for the game against Wellington was mostly precautionary?
So it wasn’t HIA protocols? If not that is great news. The extra week off will certainly help too towards that.
According to mcMillan it was precautionary, he had a headache on sundy , so with his history they thought a rest was good idea.

And he was due for a rest anyway so they took the opportunity.

Damian McKenzieWould like to see a couple of wildcards in reserves. Kapeli maybe? Florence? Sullivan?
Other options are Wainui at 13 (if fit) with ALB at 12 and for a left-field one how about moving ENS to fullback for the second half with DMac going to 10?

Hopefully Jacobson is good to go, as that adds balance to the loose forward trio. Brown could also be used at lock if Ah Kuoi and Finau are unavailable. Kapeli moved into lock in the 2nd half.

Wainui was struggling to walk off the field so I doubt he is in contention. He also showed in the 1st half why I don't like him as a centre when he had options to pass outside to his left near the Blues' 22 but ran straight at defenders, killing the attack. I like the idea of ENS moving to fullback, or Stevenson from the bench.
We'll have to see who is in the casualty ward.

The best choice.
Referee: Ben O’Keeffe
Assistant 1: James Doleman
Assistant 2: Paul Williams
TMO: Brendon PickerillFor What Ref for the ripper rugby
Those four are what we have to deal with. I agree that’s it’s probably the best job spread.
I reserve the right to bitch and moan when Pickerill makes a bad TMO call against the Chiefs though.

I will be right with you bitching when he does it to the Crusaders.
I just hope it doesn’t cost either team the game. -

Adding to the good problems for the coaches is that lock Naitoa Ah Kuoi, loose forward Luke Jacobson and utility back Chase Tiatia are now all available for selection following their concussions.
Barnes said lock/loose forward Samipeni Finau and winger/centre Sean Wainui were “borderline” due to injuries picked up against the Blues, but that midfielder Alex Nankivell is expected to play despite a broken finger.
