Chiefs captain Sam Cane will be free of any minute restriction for Saturday's game against the Crusaders in Fiji on Saturday.
Coach Colin Cooper confirms Cane would be let loose in Suva, as the Chiefs look to resuscitate their near‑terminal playoffs hopes in a must‑win match against the defending champion Crusaders.
The fixture will be the All Blacks flanker's third since his return from a five‑month recovery from a neck fracture. He came off the bench in the loss to the Blues, before making his first start ‑ albeit on a 50‑minute limit ‑ in the win over the Reds on Friday.

Cooper has loved what he's seen so far from his skipper, who's barely shown a hint of rust after his lengthy absence from the field.
The two teams arrive in the country later today at the Nausori International Airport.
The Chiefs will play the Crusaders at 7.35pm Saturday at the ANZ Stadium.
