The Chiefs women gathered for their last training session at Hautapu Rugby Club on Wednesday night.
Chiefs players and coaches driving up to seven hours on a return trip for one training session demonstrates how committed they are for Super Rugby’s first women’s match. Taranaki-based Iritana Hohaia, who was named on the bench on Thursday, and Chiefs assistant coach La Toya Mason, a former England halfback of 70 tests, have been making that arduous journey to Cambridge or Hamilton for training ahead of facing the Blues in Saturday’s landmark fixture at Eden Park.
