The Chiefs have called up lock Romana Graham for Kevin O'Neill who is now on his way back to New Zealand after picking up an injury against the Sharks.
Graham is on his way to South Africa to join the Chiefs squad while tight forward Kevin O'Neill is returning home due to an Achilles injury flaring up in the first half of the Chiefs victory over the Sharks in Durban at the weekend.
Graham, who stands at 2.02m and weighs in at 116kg, is new to the Chiefs and Super 14 this season.
He is due to arrive in South Africa on Tuesday morning (NZ time).
O'Neill played 40 minutes of the match, but did not return to the field in the second half.
O'Neill will undergo scans and further assessment on his Achilles when he returns to New Zealand.
The Chiefs are currently based in Durban where they are preparing for the round two match against the Lions in Johannesburg on Saturday 20 February at 7.00am (NZ time).
