    Chiefs don't appear to have signed that many for next year, is the roster finalised or not?

    Cane made his Chiefs debut in 2011 so has been playing SR for a long time.

    @Windows97 I also thought initially this was him giving up his All Blacks spot, but Razor is a smart man. Would be a major call to dump the current captain straight away, when the current playing group clearly love him. Might well get him offside with a few people when he doesn't need to.

    I think it is more likely he slowly phases him out, letting him get to 100 caps (probably not as captain though).

    @frugby My thoughts will be that Cane will be in the team, but probably not starting or captain of the team.

    Whether he gets back to starting or captain will be dependent on how well whoever plays at 7 goes.

    Of course wild speculation on my part 🙂

    Nice try. He's off on sabbatical.

    The team I'm referring to is the AB's - not the Chiefs 🙂

    Well if they pick Harmon for even a single game as AB7 in the near future I'm going to go a full RancidS...

    Aaron Goile also thinks that Reuben O’Neill will be one of the replacement TH props, but the interest will be in who is the other. An established prop to be 3rd in line or take a punt on a young player?

    Sione Mafileo could be a option if he is getting fit.wouldnt surpise me if they had a replacement for profitt either. Oneil i would imagine will be there.
    not really sold on Sa but wouldnt be surpised if he was picked.
    floence or norris for loose forward
    wings are going to be interesting could be after two? if they let malimali go.hopefully they dont take the waikato midgets.

    I would see the selection of Sa as one for the future, similar to when Lord was first named in the squad. He'd be there to learn and develop. There is still room for a more experienced lock too.

    I ássume these are the players to be replaced;retallick, mcwhannel, sowakula, cane, taavao, moli, gatland, ngane punivai and perhaps one more outside back assuming Trask replaces rivez reihana

    My ideal replacements would be fiti sa, Tom Florence, Malachi wrampling tikoisolomone or one of the under 20 wingers and the taranaki fly half

    @cliff The Chiefs squad this year had four 1st 5s so there is no need to replace both Gatland and Reihana with the return of Trask. Three is more than enough (DMac, Trask, Ioane). If Jacomb is only in the WTG, Ioane must be in the main squad.

    @Nogusta All the young Chiefs props are LHs so it would make sense to look outside the region.

    As to the wingers, will they take a chance on Melani Nanai? Leroy Carter would be focusing on sevens.

    @Bovidae Interestingly Carter is not in this weekends NZ Sevens squad. Could be injured of course.

    Heard that Carter is focusing on Sevens for 2024 for the Olympics then looking to join the Chiefs in 2025.

    @Bovidae I believe Nanai is off to the MLR
