The Chiefs will be with their full complement when they board the plane for the land of the rising sun, including their All Blacks in the travelling squad for their preseason tour.

With fixtures against Saitama Panasonic Wild Knights and Kubota Spears Funabashi Tokyo-Bay just two weeks after the majority of All Blacks players rejoined the club from their extended break, it wasn’t a given that the likes of Damian McKenzie would make the trip to Japan.

Exactly what role the team’s All Blacks will play in the tour remains a mystery, but Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan addressed that issue briefly when announcing the travelling squad.

    “We are really looking forward to these games in Japan in what will be a unique experience for most,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity to connect with our fans abroad, bond as a squad and test ourselves against some quality opposition.

    “In terms of the travelling squad selection, it has been a case of prioritising those that are fully fit to train and play, and the integration of our All Blacks who have only recently returned after an extended break. A number of non-travelling players are tracking well from niggly injuries and are on schedule to return to action in our last pre-season game against the Blues.”

    Hello everyone here, I am here to warn you to please do not make the same mistake I made in the past, I was a victim of a bitcoin scam. I’m so glad that I have gotten all my funds back without any stress thanks to CYBERSPACE HACK PRO company. For me. I am posting this review because I want to be of help to someone out there going through a lot to recover their bitcoin even though many people told me it’s impossible. I invested about $632,000 from a Binary Operation company I found on Telegram. After much depositing, I decided to withdraw after several weeks but the withdrawal wasn’t successful. I contacted the binary operation through their email and phone number, though I didn’t get any response from them and that was when everything clicked that I was scammed. Some weeks later I got an email from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected, and I never heard from them again. I was really devastated at this moment and felt so bad that my hard earned money was gone. Then I was introduced to this wonderful recovery company Called CYBER SPACE HACK PRO company, so I emailed them Cyberspacehackpro(@)rescueteam.com explained to them what happened and all I had to do was to follow there instructions so they can help me recover my funds which they did and i got all my money back i am so happy i decided to share my good news for those that are having same issues should contact them via
