Big blow for the Chiefs, Sivivatu really had a good semi-final match against Hurricanes.
http://www.super14.com/news/viewarticle.asp?id=20447The Chiefs have suffered a setback to their Super 14 final hopes against the Bulls, with All Blacks wing Sitiveni Sivivatu forced out with a dislocated shoulder.
Sivivatu was injured during Friday's 14-10 semi-final victory over the Hurricanes and was ruled out of the squad following a medical assessment on Sunday, the Hurricanes said.
However the top finishing New Zealand franchise received positive news with All Blacks centre Richard Kahui cleared to join the 24-man touring party despite a bruised calf that has kept him sidelined for the past two weeks.
The Chiefs square off in the final against the Bulls in Pretoria on Saturday.
The Bulls, who finished top of the table after the round-robin, beat the defending champions, the Crusaders, 36-23 in the semi-final.
