[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 484502, member: 24910"] Good to see the Highlanders at the top of the NZ Conference where they belong (in my slightly deluded mind ;) ). A slight [URL="http://www.skysport.co.nz/article/rugby-union/headlines/long-injury-list-for-chiefs-57360/"]update on the Chiefs injuries[/URL]: [LEFT][COLOR=#666666][FONT=arial] "Prop Toby Smith has a calf muscle injury that will keep him out for a lengthy period of time, as will fellow prop Ben Afeaki who broke his forearm.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#666666][FONT=arial]Wing Masaga strained his knee and it was still not clear just how bad that was. Halfback Brendon Leonard tore a hamstring." [/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT] Some big worries there for the Chiefs. I'd assume they will call up Augustine Pulu from their WTG to cover for Leonard. Prop is even more of a concern, as 2/3 remaining props (Cleaver and Tameifuna) have yet to make their Super Rugby debuts. I'd assume they will call up Josh Hohneck from the WTG group, but I expect the Chiefs will be in for some tough times up front over the next few weeks/months.
