All Blacks stars Aaron Cruden, Liam Messam and Brodie Retallick will be available against the Brumbies this week but it is not known whether they will find places in the run-on 15.
Chiefs coach Dave Rennie said there is no guarantee they will all start.
With the Chiefs naming their team tomorrow, Rennie said they were certainly happy with some positions and are likely to give those guys another chance.
Rennie added Hosea Gear will be in line to make his Chiefs debut, while Fiji born Seta Tamanivalu has a chance to be involved in front of his home fans.
The Chiefs will take on the Brumbies at 6.35pm Friday while the Rebels will meet the Waratahs at 8.40pm.
On Saturday, the Bulls will clash with the Hurricanes at 5.10am, the Highlanders and the Crusaders will meet at 6.35pm while the Reds will take on Western Force at 8.40pm.
On Sunday, the Stormers will face the Blues at 3.05am while the Sharks will take on the Lions at 5.10am.
