Number eight Sione Lauaki has taken a full part in Chiefs training this morning in Hamilton despite being involved in an alleged bar incident late last week.

Lauaki looked very comfortable in the company of his team-mates, although he had a raft of television and still cameras trained on him.

Chiefs coach Ian Foster says based on the information available to him at the moment, Lauaki is available for selection this week.

In-form hooker Hikawera Elliott will not play, as he has suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out of action for up to three weeks.
