Not where I expected Brodie McAlister to pop up, filling the spot of Tyrone Thompson who after all the rumours is heading over to join his brother and play some League. Hard to see how he'll get much game time once Samisoni is back from injury but more power to him.
Not a huge amount of change otherwise for the Chiefs, really strong looking squad particularly at lock, the loose forwards are very good as well, and then the 9, 10, midfield and outside back are all really strong.
The Chief's only obvious weakness is at Prop, but its good enough for Super Rugby and with all the strength in the rest of the squad they should be looking for playoffs for sure.
