Tom Marshall and Tim Nanai-Williams have been ruled out of the Chiefs team for their Super Rugby home match against the high‑flying Brumbies on Friday night.

Marshall had a knee injury from last Saturday night's away win over the Blues while Nanai‑Williams was selected to start on the wing for the Chiefs against the Blues but had a calf injury while playing for Samoa in the Wellington Sevens.

Sonny Bill Williams sat out training yesterday after a slight scratch but is expected to be fully fit by today.

Other backs available this week include former All Black winger Hosea Gear and up‑and‑coming centre Seta Tamanivalu.

The Chiefs will take on the Brumbies at 6.35pm Friday while the Rebels will meet the Waratahs at 8.40pm.

On Saturday, the Bulls will clash with the Hurricanes at 5.10am, the Highlanders and the Crusaders will meet at 6.35pm while the Reds will take on Western Force at 8.40pm.

On Sunday, the Stormers will face the Blues at 3.05am while the Sharks will take on the Lions at 5.10am.
