Chiefs co-captain Sam Cane back in time for semifinal clash

After being sidelined for the past two Super Rugby Pacific games with a knee problem, Chiefs co-captain and All Blacks skipper Sam Cane will return in tomorrow night’s semifinal against the Crusaders in Christchurch.

Chiefs Head Coach Clayton McMillan says he has refused to rush Cane back into this week’s starting lineup.

Meanwhile, All Blacks lock Josh Lord is still sidelined with a knee injury, but should be available next week should the Chiefs make the final.

The Crusaders face the Chiefs at 7.05 pm tomorrow and the Blues will play the Brumbies at 7.05 pm Saturday.
