KEY POINTS:
All Black halfback Byron Kelleher is out for at least two and possibly the next three Chiefs Super 14 games. Kelleher badly damaged his nose in the 64-36 win over the Force last weekend.
Kelleher, who returned to the Chiefs after time off for All Black reconditioning only in round eight on March 24, might even have played his last game in the Chiefs' colours, unless they make the semifinals.
They have three round robin games left. After the World Cup, Kelleher is moving to France to play for Agen.
Apart from those on long-term injuries, the only other Chiefs player unlikely to figure in calculations for Saturday's key match against the Sharks is flanker Tanerau Latimer, who has a shoulder injury.
