The Chiefs are positive they will have the services of All Blacks forward Liam Messam for the playoffs after the loose forward made a seamless return to Super Rugby against the Reds.Messam was cut from the New Zealand Sevens team to play at the Rio Olympics but showed hes lost none of his skills in the 15-man game following a successful 40 minutes off the bench in Brisbane on Friday.However, the 32-year-old now faces a nervous wait to see if SANZAAR will allow him to play in the finals as he currently doesnt meet the criteria of having played four competition matches.The Chiefs have applied to Super Rugbys governing body for dispensation and are hopeful of receiving a decision in the next couple of days, with the quarter-finals looming next weekend.They believe Messam will be cleared to play after coming into the side earlier this month as an injury replacement.We are pretty confident and we wouldnt be using him now if it were pointless, coach Dave Rennie said.Hes good and he gives us a little bit of niggle, and I think that is going to be pretty important this week against the Highlanders.Its great having him back as he brings another strong voice and is a very passionate Chiefs man.Messam, who has played a record 146 games for the Chiefs, would add some vital finals experience to the team, having captained the side to back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013.His presence would be even more welcomed now that Charlie Ngatai has been ruled out for the rest of the Super Rugby season with concussion symptoms while Japan captain Michael Leitch remains sidelined with a thumb injury.
