The Chiefs squad to compete in the first Brisbane Global Rugby Tens has been named.
A versatile and exciting squad of 26 has been named for two action-packed days of rugby tens kicking off on Saturday February 11 at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. Included are Bay of Plenty players SiegfriedFisi'ihoi and Liam Polwart but All Blacks players were unavailable.
