Atu Moli has been ruled out for the season with a hip injury

The Chiefs team announced he will have sugery on both his left and right hips to treat "chronic hip dysfunction". This follows Sam Nichol's injury that will also keep him out of the entire competition. 

Chiefs, who face the Highlanders this weekend, will be without the services of Sam Cane as he recovers from a neck injury but is expected to play in the updated competition
