Should be an interesting match up. Both teams are coming off good wins, with the Chiefs grinding out a win against the Sharks, and the Blues eventually running away with a win against the Hurricanes.
The Chiefs have been named:
1. Sona Taumalolo,2. Hika Elliot,3. Nathan White,4. Craig Clarke,5. Isaac Ross,6. Scott Waldrom,7. Tanerau Latimer,8. Liam Messam (Captain),9. Brendon Leonard,10. Mike Delany,11. Sitiveni Sivivatu,12. Tana Umaga,13. Richard Kahui,14. Lelia Masaga,15. Tim Nanai-Williams
Reserves:16. Aled de Malmanche,17. Toby Smith,18. Culum Retallick,19. Fritz Lee,20. Taniela Moa,21. Dwayne Sweeney,22. Save Tokula
Good to see they have picked an almost unchanged lineup, with the only changes injured enforced (Taumalolo for May, Delany for Donald). Good to see Toby Smith back from injury on the bench, as the Chiefs were looking a bit short of props, but I'm disappointed to see Moa ahead of Kerr-Barlow again on the bench. Interesting to see also that there is no cover for first-five on the bench, with Nanai-Williams likely to slot into 10 if Delany gets injured.
