    It means former Bronco Kurt Capewell will start in the second row alongside Jackson Ford in Friday's season-opener against the Sharks at Mt Smart.

    Assistant coach Stacey Jones says they're not sure how long Niukore will be out.



    Luke Metcalf's beaten Te Maire Martin to the five-eighth jumper and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck starts at centre at the expense of Adam Pompey.
