AAP writes: This might be the mismatch of the round, but don't completely write off the surprise packet Rebels. They downed the second-placed Brumbies two weeks ago and then fell just short of their first-ever overseas victory against the Highlanders after staging a spirited fightback. Speaking of which, the Chiefs once again proved they're Super Rugby's comeback kings by putting on three late tries last week to draw with the Cheetahs - a feat they also pulled off the week before against the Bulls. That said, the Chiefs have spent a chunk of their week travelling back from South Africa, and have also made eight changes. They've lost key playmaker Aaron Cruden, forcing utility back Gareth Anscombe to step up at No.10.
Eight changes have been made to the starting line up which has prop Jamie Mackintosh, lock Michael Fitzgerald and flanker Tanerau Latimer back in the forwards. Kane Thompson will start in the No 8 jersey while Liam Messam moves to the reserves. Brodie Retallick takes over the captaincy duties for the match.
Steve Samuelson writes: The Chiefs are about to find out what life without star five-eighth Aaron Cruden is like. The playmaker is out for six weeks but his replacement Gareth Anscombe has put in the odd star turn for the Blues in the No.10 jersey. Skipper Liam Messam has been rested while the Rebels seek their first overseas win.
