Chiefs winger Lelia Masaga will return to rugby on Saturday for the Chiefs development team, suggesting a return to the Super 14 is not far away.

Masaga who underwent shoulder surgery in September, has undergone a thorough rehabilitation programme over the past few months, and will test his fitness against the Blues development team in Hamilton.

The 23-year-old was a star of the Chiefs' charge to last year's Super 14 final, leading to a test cap against Italy in June.
