Chiefs recycle jerseys. Men's training jersey is the same as the women's jersey. Kinda pisses me off and doesn't give the Manawa their own identity.

Why Cortez Ratima chose Chiefs over Crusaders: 'A chance to represent my people'
When Cortez Ratima mapped out his future following his final year of high school in 2018, the young halfback wasn’t expecting to earn a Super Rugby contract just a few seasons later.
The Hurricanes had also earlier approached Ratima about coming onboard as temporary injury cover for the season but nothing eventuated, while an offer from the Crusaders was also tough to turn down.
“I was approached by the Crusaders earlier on and I sat on the decision about whether to stay or go for so long, maybe two weeks. I was trying to put the pros and cons together and had a lot of talks with the old man about what to do."This makes me very happy that he decided to play for the Chiefs after receiving 2 other offers.

One other offer, the canes one didn't eventuate
but respect for someone staying in their home area -

Many people, not just sportsman, get no conviction recorded.

@crazy-horse exactly, not just a sport/rugby thing. The overall situation is taken into account. No doubt it is not a good look for the young man but he has the chance to put this behing him and grow.

@crazy-horse although because he is a rugby player it makes the media, so people think he got special treatment cos Rugby.

@yeetyaah McWhannell and Ah Kuoi better be fit from the start of preseason if the 3 AB locks aren't available. They will have to bring in at least 2 other locks for cover.
As I understand all the AB,s are available from RD1
Just limited game time eased in with 40 min then 60 min. -
