Tighthead prop Ben Tameifuna has returned to the Chiefs front row for Friday's match against the Blues in Hamilton.
In the other change to the pack, Mike Fitzgerald comes back into the second row for the injured Ross Filipo. Charlie Ngatai has failed to recover from a calf injury, so Tim Nanai-Williams moves from fullback to outside centre where he will play alongside Bundee Aki, who is the only newcomer to the backline.
The Blues have made just one change to their starting line-up, with George Moala coming in at outside centre.
