Damian McKenzie has returned for the Chiefs at No.10 after a hand injury kept him out of the past two games, in a top-of-the-table clash with the Crusaders on Saturday (5.05pm AEST). Join The Roar for live updates.
The Chiefs are further boosted by the return of All Blacks sensation Wallace Sititi for his first start of the season after two games back from the bench. He will play at No.8 with Luke Jacobson moving to No.7.
There are a further three changes to the Chiefs’ pack, with hooker Brodie McAlister replacing Bradley Slater, and lock Naitoa Ah Kuoi and loose forward Simon Parker promoted to start, with Josh Lord and Samipeni Finau going back to the bench.
He will match up against Rivez Reihana, who gets the Crusaders’ No.10 jersey against his former team, ahead of Wallaby wannabe James O’Connor.
Reihana will get first crack in the Crusaders’ No.10 jersey following Taha Kemara’s season-ending knee injury.
Braydon Ennor returns for the Crusaders after a hamstring injury but flanker Ethan Blackadder is still missing with his own hamstring injury.
