Aaron Cruden is not going to relinquish the kicking tee lightly.
The Chiefs co‑captain nailed just one-quarter in the 31‑24 loss to the Crusaders in Suva last Friday night, but is determined to right those wrongs rather than handing the duties to Damian McKenzie, who slotted the final attempt in Suva.
But, going into their round 14 match against the Blues at Eden Park on Friday night, coach Dave Rennie labelled Cruden the team's best kicker, and said, if fit, he will kick. Only some ordinary form during the training week is set to change that.
The Chiefs will face the Blues at 7.35pm Friday.
