Are we thinking the Chiefs' wobble is serious? Or is it a glitch which afflicts every side along the lengthy Super 15 road?
Since Dave Rennie brought his powerful coaching quartet to the Chiefs the squad has delivered. They have tweaked, plotted and schemed their way to twin titles with
an emphasis on unity, cohesion and attention to detail.

About this time last year they stumbled against the Reds and Waratahs before sorting the malfunctions and surging to the playoffs and title No2.
There have been a few more tremors this year. Nine games into their programme and they have lost four, won three and drawn two - not the sort of start to declare they are on top of their game.
