Tuculet leads the Jaguares out!

Chiefs coach Colin Cooper has been forced into late changes with loose forwards Sam Cane (abdominal strain) and Lachlan Boshier (appendicitis) both ruled out on match day.

The rejigged loose forward trio is Pita Gus Sowakula at No 8, Liam Messam at openside and Luke Jacobson at blindside.

All Blacks lock Brodie Retallick, who was originally going to be rested, comes onto the bench along with Jesse Parete.

An intriguing battle awaits in this match with Jaguares riding high after winning their last 3 matches on tour including their first win over New Zealand opposition. Meanwhile, the Chiefs come off the back of a bye weekend, the Waikato based franchise are yet to lose a match at home this and will be looking to maintain that record as well as keep the pressure on the other New Zealand franchises in a tightly fought conference.
