Chiefs utility Damian McKenzie on track to take the field for season opener

Chiefs utility Damian McKenzie is on track to take the field for the Super Rugby franchise's season opener on January 31st.

McKenzie sustained a knee injury during a match against the Blues in April, which ruled him out of the remainder of the season as well as the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

It will be a fine way to christen Warren Gatland's new coaching tenure, with the former Wales and current Lions coach taking the helm at the Chiefs for next season.

The Chiefs open their season against the Blues at Eden Park.
