The Chiefs Taua beat the Hurricanes Hunters 36-14 (HT: 22-7). The Chiefs pack dominated in the 1st half especially, as they had the better scrum and won the collisions. A try in each half from lineout drives.
Tries to Slater (2), Koller, Popoalii (I think), Martin and Radcliffe for the Chiefs, Rova and Gavigan for the Hurricanes.
For the Chiefs, Slater, Ahio and Lewai only played 40 mins. The rest of the subs came on at 53 mins. Higgins played the whole game for the Hurricanes but was quiet.
From the pictures, it looked like a game clearly suited to the forwards so I'm not surprised after looking at both packs. Good for Higgins to at least go through a match unscathed.

Big news for the Chiefs.
He will make a big difference for them. Bar injuries to the likes of Dmac I can't really see anyone else lifting the trophy this year other than the Chiefs at this point. They've got all bases covered IMO.

After 2023 I can't have that kinda faith

Surely it’s third final lucky for the Chiefs.

The return fixture between the Chiefs Taua and Hurricanes Hunters is this Saturday. It would be good if some of the injured players (Lord, Sititi, Trask, ALB, LCF) are involved. It doesn't look like any of them played club rugby on the weekend, but some can't be too far away from returning.

The Chiefs have been slack and haven't released the Dev team list for the game being played in Napier currently. The Hurricanes did that yesterday.
Do you know what the score is?
