The Chiefs expect to have a near full‑strength squad to pick from for Friday’s New Zealand Super Rugby derby against the Crusaders.

Sonny Bill Williams, Charlie Ngatai and Tim Nanai‑Williams have trained today after sitting out the Chiefs’ win over the Blues before the bye.

Meanwhile Crusaders midfielder Ryan Crotty will miss the upcoming match.

The Crusaders also expect Nemani Nadolo to be fit to play, despite carrying a deep bruise to his knee.

The Crusaders will host the Chiefs at 7.35pm Friday.
