Note that the same caveat applies as with the Tahs, as the Chiefs apparently had about one third of their first choice team out.
Messam, Retallick, Anscombe, Latimer, Elliott all missing, along with Horrell and Aki who were on the bench a lot of last year.
Chiefs team was apparently:
1. Manu 2. Marshall 3. Afeaki 4. Symons 5. Fitzgerald 6. Crosswell 7. Cane 8. Axtens 9. Kerr-Barlow 10. West (Cruden was named to start) 11. Tikoirotuma 12. Ngatai 13. Fruean 14. Lowe 15. Nanai-Williams
Res: Harris, Firth, Allardice, Tietjens, Weber, Cruden (swapped with West), Pulu, Barrett, Lienert-Brown, Tyrell, Payne, Ware, Macintosh
Rebels target Ihaia West apparently went quite well, with Cruden not being much of an improvement.
