*******
Kia ora, good evening and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of this Super Rugby Pacific encounter between the Chiefs and the Reds, from Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium.
After the New Zealand and Australian conferences merged last week, it's fair to say the Kiwi sides still have the wood on their trans-Tasman foes.
From the five matches played last weekend, Kiwi sides won four of them, with only the Highlanders failing to secure victory.
The Chiefs will have the first crack at keeping that superiority intact in round 11, travelling north to Queensland to face the Reds.
They'll be without captain Sam Cane, who's flown back to New Zealand for the birth of his child, leaving Luke Jacobson to lead the side, while Kaylum Boshier comes in to fill the No.7 jersey.
Interestingly, the Chiefs have named a 6-2 forwards to backs split on the bench, as Mitch Brown replaces Inga Finau as the only other change from last week's 51-27 win over the Waratahs.
The Reds meanwhile impressed in the early stages against the Hurricanes, taking an early 17-0 lead - only to throw it away when the Kiwi side staged a dramatic comeback.
As a result, coach Brad Thorn has largely kept the faith, and made just two changes to his starting side.
Angus Scott-Young comes into the loose forwards for his first appearance after a knee injury in the opening weeks of the season, while winger Josh Flook starts in the No.11 jersey.
These two sides last met on this ground all the way back in 2018, as the Chiefs took a 36-12 victory.
