About this episode

Simon Graafhuis, CEO of the Chiefs, discusses the team's upcoming match against the Fijian Drua at the new One New Zealand Stadium.

The Chiefs are wary of what the Fijian Drua could be capable of under the roof at Christchurch's new stadium in the final game of Super Rugby's Super Round. The Drua are coming off a shock win over the Brumbies in Canberra last week - their first on the road in three years. Chiefs CEO Simon Graafhuis joined Piney to discuss.
