Michael Allardice to captain Chiefs in Buenos Aires Super Rugby Clash
An All Blacks stand-down and a neck injury in the Chiefs squad have thrust lock Michael Allardice into the captain's role.
Allardice, 27, will be skipper for the team when it faces the Jaguares in Buenos Aires on Sunday morning (NZ time).
The usual captains won't be on the field - Brodie Retallick has to meet All Blacks stand-down requirements, and Sam Cane is sidelined with a neck injury.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
