To answer my own question via Waikato's FB page:
I will be interested to see the official Chiefs media release because there are a couple of notable omissions, one I thought was a good chance of being the captain. Maybe they are injured.
Note: Te Rama Reuben is unavailable due to injury.

@Tim it took some convincing to get Northland Prop JT Pont Bellamy across the line ..Blues forward coach Stephen Bates was not convinced ., Northland kicked up stink as Pont Bellamy despite his age was putting up better numbers in terms fitness and gym work than any of the other props ..
JT Pont Bellamy more than looked after his side of the scrum despite the chiefs doing the business in preseason game on Saturday .
This is a kid to watch moving forward , played for Kelston Boys XV last year . -
@Steven-Harris Out of interest, do you know where the Blues-Chiefs game was played?
Scrummaging props are always a weakness for the NZ U20s, so it will be interesting to see how the scrum battles go in the tournament.
-
@Steven-Harris what is more concerning, if true is the lack of interest in him from the Northland coaches, who again, if rumours are true, have barely seen him play.
If it were me, I'd be all over him for someone to develop and build.

@Bovidae game was played at Pukekohe on Saturday ..
chiefs won 55-17 ..Blues started with their top lineup in the first half and were very competitive but changed most of the team in the 2nd half and the difference in depth stood out . -
