Best choice IMO. I thought it was between him and ALB.
Jacobson has captained just about every team he's played for from the Waikato U19s.
Newshub have reported that the vice-captains are Boshier and Poihipi. This suggests that Boshier will be the no.7.
Poihipi?
Will he start (will he even bench) in our best team? He's a good player, but that is a surprise.
-
I don't see Poihipi being in the XV but likely on the bench.
To that end, while Jacobson’s elevation was not so surprising, McMillan’s choice of vice-captains was more of an eyebrow-raiser, as he confirmed loose forward Kaylum Boshier and midfielder Rameka Poihipi had been handed those roles, ahead of the likes of All Blacks Damian McKenzie (111) and Anton Lienert-Brown (106), who are now the most-capped players in the squad.
“It’s a little bit of a nod to the future, but the general public won’t be aware around the influence those guys have in our environment,” McMillan said.
“We know we’ve got some more-established All Blacks and perhaps bigger personalities in the team that are going to add value anyway. So it’s about sharing the responsibility of the leadership role.”https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/350162075/luke-jacobson-named-skipper-chiefs-ditch-co-captaincy

Chiefs hooker Tyrone Thompson denies he has signed with the Newcastle Knights for 2025, but admits he is certainly weighing up an offer to join the NRL club.

Narawa and Lord will miss the first few rounds. Josh Jacomb has officially replaced Kaleb Trask in the squad.
-
I expect the Chiefs will be wearing armbands on Friday night, and maybe an acknowledgement pre-game.
The Chiefs Rugby Club join in mourning the loss, and celebrating the life of W H D (Dennis) Brown. In 2002 and 2003 Brown was an assistant coach here at the Chiefs and has had a long career playing and coaching in Chiefs Country.
-
M Wrampling and Poihipi are not involved.

And Tupaea out with concussion. If Poihipi is available there will be enough midfield cover.
The smart mouth guard got the wrong midfielder it seems.
Feel sorry for Tupaea, he just can't get a break.
And very glad that Dmac is still in one piece!
-
Jared Proffit also got a 3 week ban.
I wonder if one of the young props gets in the 23 for the Drua game.
-
A 170 kg bench press for a halfback is very impressive.
-
At least the Chiefs have published this team. Ioane can't be playing in both games. Must be Jacomb.
