The Chiefs make their way onto the field

Late change for the Hurricanes: Michael Fatialofa replaces Sam Lousi with Murray Douglas coming on to the bench

Damian McKenzie who was bracketed will start this match, while Michael Allardice has replaced Tyler Ardron at lock.

What a way to get Round 9 of Super Rugby underway!

The Hurricanes and Chiefs both head into this New Zealand derby off the back of 5 straight victories and one loss. The Chiefs face a tough task with the Hurricanes having won 7 of their last 8 New Zealand derbies at home but the Chiefs will be confident having won their last three New Zealand derbies.

This promises to be a fantastic game with very little separating the two sides on paper.
