Get in, get the job done, get out. That's the assignment for a Canes team that is fully capable of getting a bonus point win here and staying in touch with the Blues at the top of the table. Clark Laidlaw has rotated his team but will be wary of the trouble that Moana caused the Chiefs in the first half of their game last weekend.
