The Chiefs will hope to continue their push towards the Super Rugby Aotearoa final when they take on the Hurricanes tonight.

They are on a four-game winning streak, which started against the Hurricanes in Round 4 in Wellington.

Both sides are without two key players, with Luke Jacobson out with a concussion for the Chiefs and Ardie Savea sidelined with a knee injury.

Bryn Gatland is back in the number 10 jersey for the Chiefs.

He started the opening two matches of the competition this year, but since then has been behind Kaleb Trask and Damian McKenzie.

Gatland came off the bench against the Crusaders last weekend and coach Clayton McMillan was happy with his impact, so has given him the green light in the starting jersey with McKenzie shifting back to fullback.

It will be good to see Gatland go up against rookie Ruben Love, who has retained the Hurricanes 10 jersey after making his starting debut two weeks ago.

The Chiefs play the Hurricanes at 7.05 tonight while the Crusaders take on the Blues at 3.35pm Sunday.
