The Chiefs have named their team to play the Sharks in Durban this weekend.

Chiefs coach Dave Rennie has made four changes to the starting fifteen with two of those in the front row and the midfield.

Jamie Mackintosh and Siate Tokolahi will start the match in the engine room, after they provided great impact when they came on last week.

As expected there is a new midfield combination with Andrew Horrell and Seta Tamanivalu taking over the duties from the injured Tim Nanai-Williams and Sonny Bill Williams.

Williams has been clear from symptoms after his head-knock last weekend, but ran out of time to fulfill the protocol system.

There have been six changes to the reserves. Forwards Rhys Marshall, Ben Tameifuna, Mitchell Graham and Johan Bardoul join back Hosea Gear as new additions to the pine.

The match will be played on Saturday 21 March at 7.10pm local time (Sunday 22 March 6.10am New Zealand time).
