Hyron Andrews and Philip van der Walt will start at lock and number eight respectively‚ coming in for Rubin van Heerden and Daniel du Preez.
The following week‚ they gave the Crusaders one of their sternest home tests in the past two years‚ with the reigning champions escaping with a draw.
The Chiefs are the weakest of the five New Zealand sides but they put 50 past a Bulls side that has beaten the Sharks twice this season.However‚ they look a far better and organised team as compared to the start of the season. Last week‚ they rescued a game that looked to be lost against the Highlanders in Dunedin and salvaged a well-deserved draw.
Du Preez‚ who has unsurprisingly persisted with Curwin Bosch at flyhalf‚ said he has been happy with the form his charges have exhibited on tour. “We know how tough it is to tour and how tough this competition is‚ so to beat the Waratahs for the first time in 19 years in Sydney [the last time was in 2000]‚ that’s a great feat as was the draw against the Crusaders‚ very nearly a win. We’re very pleased with where we are‚” Du Preez said.
