Mel Puckett Canterbury and Kalyn Takitimu-Cook Bay of Plenty are two young players who have had time in the Black Ferns set-up.
Coach Wesley Clarke also included current Black Ferns Joanah Ngan-Woo, Ayesha Leti-I'iga, Iritana Hohaia, Cheyelle Robins-Reti and Dhys Faleafaga, former Black Ferns Jackie Patea-Fereti, Janna Vaughan, Selica Winiata, Victoria Subritzky-Nafatali and Monica Tagoai, and former Black Ferns Sevens player Lyric Faleafaga.
The Chiefs rely on a wealth of experience from inside their boundary, with 16 current or former Black Ferns in their ranks and only three players from outside the region.
