The Chiefs have received a couple of positive pieces of injury news, with both Sam Cane and Seta Tamanivalu set to start this weekend's semifinal against the Hurricanes.
Cane was initially in doubt after picking up a head knock in the quarter-final victory over the Stormers while Tamanivalu sat out that match with a knee injury, but both men appear to have suitably recovered.
While Dave Rennie won't name his team until tomorrow for Saturday's match in Wellington, the coach was confident Cane and Tamanivalu would be included.
"[Cane] has bounced back really well," Rennie said. "We thought it was pretty minor - he was grumpy at halftime that he'd actually been taken off. But it was the right call and we're confident he'll be ready to go."
The co-captain will add some much-needed experience to a youthful loose forward group while Tamanivalu will also be a senior face in a midfield ravaged by injuries. Stephen Donald was the latest to be laid low, ruled out of the semifinal with a shoulder injury, meaning Tamanivalu's imminent return was timely.
