It was a steamy afternoon in Rotorua for the pre-season game between the Chiefs and the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes came out the winners 17-12 but the level of skill was fairly low from both sides as they struggled for any cohesion. As usual the benches were emptied early which made things even more random. A fair crowd turned out, around 1700 apparently.
The Bay players did OK, Delany was solid (but overshadowed by Nanai-Williams at full-back when he came on). Latimer looked abrasive and Hona did well in the big time although looking a bit lost on the right wing. He did enough to travel to South Africa as cover for the injured Masaga. When Junior replaced Leonard his crisp pass was noticeable. Sunday morning NZ time is when the Chiefs start their campaign against the Sharks. Will they finally start a season well?

Update - Chiefs went down 31-21 to the Blues. Tries to Nanai-Williams, de Malmanche and Messam. 3pm this Friday is Chiefs v Hurricanes in Rotorua - see you there.
The Chiefs team to play the Blues at Albany on Friday (5.30pm kick off) is as follows.
Sona Taumalolo, Hika Elliot, Nathan White, Craig Clarke, Culum Retallick, Jarrad Hoeata, Luke Braid, Sione Lauaki (captain), Brendon Leonard, Mike Delany, Dwayne Sweeney, Callum Bruce, Richard Kahui, Jackson Willison, Tim Nanai-Williams

Tanerau Latimer is hoping to be back next week after his knee op so Luke Braid gets a chance to show what he can do. Also big chances for Retallick and Delany to claim a starting spot (although I am pretty sure Foster will stick with Donald at 10).

The signings continue for the Bay of Plenty Steamers, although sevens star Ruki Tipuna isn't yet one of them.
Head coach Sean Horan has confirmed the acquisition of Tasman duo, prop Tristan Moran and hooker Daniel Perrin, along with Waikato lock Luke Katene for this year's squad.
They'll join other big off-season signings in All Black wing Lelia Masaga, Hawke's Bay first-five Dan Waenga and Otago midfielder Brett Mather.
But Tipuna again appears on the outer, despite a dazzling sevens season and his presence in the New Zealand camp in Mount Maunganui this week preparing for the Wellington IRB tournament.
