Never change a winning team used to be an old sporting adage before professional rugby brought with it the dreaded rotation word.
But Dave Rennie and his fellow Chiefs coaches have opted to stick with their winning XV for tomorrow night's Super Rugby clash with the powerful Crusaders side in Napier.
They sweated on the fitness of hooker Mahonri Schwalger (hamstring) and No8 Kane Thompson (eye cut and knock to kidneys) and delayed the naming of the team yesterday in a bid to give the pair as much time as possible to prove their fitness, which they finally did in a physical team run in the afternoon.
Until then they had not been able to participate much in the way of physical contact training.
"The boys worked pretty hard this afternoon so we're happy with where that starting group is at," Rennie said.
"We won last week – it was a good performance without being a startling performance and we believe those guys deserve another chance to get another crack at it."
