Solomon Alaimalo returns from injury and has been named to start at fullback, with Tumua Manu shifting back to start at centre.
Nathan Harris is set to start at hooker with lock Michael Allardice named to skipper the Chiefs team, as Brodie Retallick has been given his enforced All Blacks rest.

Chiefs coach Cooper says tomorrow’s Super Rugby match is crucial in his side working their way back into the competition.
