The Chiefs have made four changes to their starting lineup for tomorrow night’s key Super Rugby clash against the Crusaders in Christchurch.

The changes to the run-on side that played against the Hurricanes in Hamilton last Friday night see Ben Tameifuna swap with All Black Ben Afeaki as tighthead prop, another All Black Sam Cane comes into the side in place of Tanerau Latimer, Charlie Ngatai replaces Tim Nanai-Williams at centre and Patrick Osborne gets the nod on the right wing in place of Lelia Masaga.

Afeaki, Latimer and Nanai Williams all drop to the bench, with Masaga dropping out of the match 22 completely.

The only change to the Chiefs team that last played against the Crusaders comes in the No 7 jersey where Cane takes the place of Latimer.

The Chiefs will take on the Crusaders at 7.3pm tomorrow.
