Chiefs head coach Dave Rennie has named a team with three changes for tomorrow night’s match against the Blues in Auckland.
The Chiefs lost to the Crusaders last weekend in Suva which has allowed the Hurricanes to move above them in the New Zealand Conference.
There’s just one change to the forward pack with relentless number 8 Liam Messam contributing 156 caps of experience to the starting lineup.
The remaining two changes effect the backline, with Johnny Faauli returning to the playing 23 to start at second five‑eighth.
The mid‑fielder reunites with Anton Lienert‑Brown who moves to centre for tomorrow’s unmissable derby match.
Brad Weber, Mitchell Graham, Glen Fisiiahi, Liam Polwart, Charlie Ngatai, Toni Pulu, Sam McNicol and Stephen Donald were all unavailable for selection.
The Chiefs will play the Blues at 7.35pm tomorrow while the Reds will take on the Force at 9.45pm.
