Screenshot from the team list that someone put in the Blues thread. I like Narawa at 15 and good to see Etene back.

Cane at 7??
Que?
Only news during the week was him sitting out training then various articles saying he was all washed up for AB's. I thought a bench spot was the best to hope for. But he is starting. Had expected Stevenson or Ioane at 15.
The Chiefs were saying that if this was a final Cane would play. I guess we find out tomorrow...
If that’s the team, I’m pretty happy. Would prefer Ratima to Roe.
I get the point about clearing kicks but Stevenson has never nailed down other aspects of play. In particular he has a habit of shifting the ball into danger.

Were we expecting Cane to prop?

With Papali’i’s form, a move to prop wouldn’t be a bad idea for Cane…

I'm totally aboard the Papali’i’ train. Cane can cover 6/7 from the bench.

Was not expecting him to start. Chiefs have a policy of not starting someone who did not train in the position during the week. Wondered if he might be named in 20 jersey.

Is this the actual team though?
I haven’t seen an official announcement
Neither have I and looked everywhere.
No official team announcement yet. Maybe they are waiting until after today's training to confirm if Cane is playing.
CHIEFS (1-15): Aidan Ross, Samisoni Taukei'aho, Angus Ta'avao, Brodie Retallick, Tupou Va'ai, Luke Jacobson, Sam Cane (co-c), Pita Gus Sowakula, Brad Weber (co-c), Bryn Gatland, Etene Nanai-Seturo, Quinn Tupaea, Alex Nankivell, Jonah Lowe, Emoni Narawa

The only thing that's going to screw that up is the halves.
