Winger Sitiveni Sivivatu returns from injury as one of two
changes in the Chiefs' Super 14 rugby side named today to
face the Reds in Hamilton on Friday night after.
Sivivatu comes back on to the left wing, having recovered
from the shoulder strain he suffered in the 72-65 win over
the Lions in Johannesburg two rounds ago.
Also back is skipper and fellow All Black Mils Muliaina, the
fullback having been given the first three weeks off.
Their return means Dwayne Sweeney and Mike Delany drop to the
bench.
Chiefs coach Ian Foster said there had been some hard
selection decisions after the Chiefs came away from their
three-match road trip with three wins.
"But we've decided to re-introduce Mils and Sitiveni to get
them back involved as soon as possible," he said.
The Chiefs gained 14 points from their victories over the
Sharks, the Lions and the Western Force to put them just one
point behind competition leaders the Bulls.
Chiefs: Mils Muliaina (captain), Lelia Masaga, Richard
Kahui, Callum Bruce, Sitiveni Sivivatu, Stephen Donald,
Brendon Leonard, Colin Bourke, Tanerau Latimer, Liam Messam,
Culum Retallick, Romana Graham, Nathan White, Hika Elliot,
Sona Taumalolo. Reserves: Aled de Malmanche, Toby Smith,
Jarrad Hoeata, Luke Braid, Junior Poluleuligaga, Mike Delany,
Dwayne Sweeney.
