The Chiefs have named a team with several changes to the side that lost to the Sharks in Durban for this weekend’s clash against the Cheetahs in Hamilton.
The Chiefs side for this week shows a new front row as Pauliasi Manu returns from injury and is joined by Quentin MacDonald and Ben Tameifuna.
In the backs Tom Marshall comes onto the left wing. Sonny Bill Williams returns to the midfield and Charlie Ngatai is bracketed with Seta Tamanivalu at centre.
Andrew Horrell moves to the replacements and is joined by prop Siate Tokolahi and Marty McKenzie.
Chiefs assistant Coach Andrew Strawbridge said, “The Cheetahs are one of the more positive South African teams and we know they will test us with their line out drive and their kicking game.”
