Sonny Bill Williams will be leading the charge for the Chiefs tonight as they face the Blues in their Super Rugby opening match.
The presence of Williams in the number 12 jersey for the first time since 2012 will bring immediate backline power and the ability to open defences in a number of ways.
Outside critics seem to be worried about the absence of Brodie Retallick and Liam Messam.
Tom Marshall, Tim Nanai‑Williams and James Lowe also bring serious attacking and counter‑attacking threats in the Chiefs backlines.
The Blues will host the Chiefs at 6.35 tonight.
Meanwhile in the games last night, the Melbourne Rebels upset the Crusaders 20-10, Tevita Kuridrani scored a try for the Brumbies as they thrashed the Reds 47-3 while the Hurricanes beat the Lions 22-8 this morning.
