Pre-match
The Chiefs have been rocked by a couple of key injuries in the loose forwards, with captain Sam Cane (abdominal strain) and Lachlan Boshier (appendix) both ruled out with injuries.
Veteran Liam Messam moves from the back of the scrum to the openside, with Luke Jacobson and Pita Gus Sowakula moving off the bench into the starting line-up.
Notably, this also means All Blacks lock Brodie Retallick, who was due to take a week off, has returned to the reserves for this game.
Conditions are pretty amazing, considering the flooding that has struck Rotorua in recent weeks. Ground conditions are perfect.
