Ruby Tui confirmed that she had a Chiefs contract a few weeks back.

Like most of the sevens women she is based in BOP. I can't remember her playing much XVs so what position? Probably an outside back. If the Chiefs are able to select their best players from within the region they will have a very strong team.

She played wing for CM Heat

So for winger the Chiefs could choose:
Ruby Tui
Stacey Fluhler
Cheyelle Robins-Reti
Michaela Blyde
Langi Veainu
Kelsey Teneti

I am assuming Renee Wickliffe joins Woodman at the Blues.

Just mentioned in the sevens 2022 thread that the sevens players may only be available for a couple of games max.

[Yeetyaah]

@stargazer surely all the other teams to follow suit?

[Stargazer]

@yeetyaah You'd think so!

As mentioned previously.

The Chiefs Rugby Club today have announced Tokyo Olympic gold medalist and Black Ferns Sevens player Ruby Tui has been named in the 2022 Chiefs Women’s squad for the upcoming Super Rugby Aupiki competition.

@bovidae bloody good signing that.

[Stargazer]

@bovidae Excellent.

[Bovidae]

In the article it also says that the squads are named later this week.

[Stargazer]

First announced Hurricanes signing, and what a great one!

Obviously drip feeding out these signings. Ruby T waved her contract at the camera when she was guesting on Breakdown weeks ago.

[Stargazer]

Chyna Hohepa has signed with the Chiefs.

[Stargazer]

[Bovidae]

I was hoping that Semple would be part of the Chiefs coaching team. Let's see how many Waikato players join him at the Blues.

[Yeetyaah]

@bovidae Chelsea Alley is his partner so.....

Yeah, I know.

Chelsea is part of the Chiefs promotions so I doubt she is going anywhere. It will make conversations in the house interesting though.
