Halfback Brendon Leonard (bruised knee) has been bracketed with David Bason; Callum Bruce (foot strain) with Murray Williams; and prop Simms Davison (upper leg strain) with Simon Lemalu from the Chiefs Wider Training Group. Chiefs prop Craig West was not considered for selection after suffering a significant groin strain this week.Foster will make final decisions on his starting 22 late on Saturday.The Chiefs team to play the Reds on Saturday 26 April at 7.35pm at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton is:   1.      Ben May   2.      Tom Willis   3.      Ben Castle   4.      Toby Lynn   5.      Kevin O'Neill   6.      Liam Messam   7.      Tanerau Latimer   8.      Sione Lauaki   9.      Jamie Nutbrown  10.      Stephen Donald  11.      Sitiveni Sivivatu  12.      Dwayne Sweeney  13.      Richard Kahui  14.      Lelia Masaga  15.      Mils Muliaina (capt)      Reserves   16.      Aled de Malmanche  17.      Simms Davison/Simon Lemalu    18.      Jay Williams   19.      Faifili Levave    20.      Brendon Leonard/David Bason    21.      Callum Bruce/Murray Williams    22.      Sosene Anesi.</blockquote>
