The Chiefs have bolstered their line-up ahead of Saturday's clash with the Crusaders at Waikato Stadium, calling on close to their full complement of All Blacks for the first time this season.
Sonny Bill Williams and Sam Cane return to duty after being late scratches in last weekend's win over the Brumbies, with Brodie Retallick making his first start of the season after coming off the bench for 40 minutes in New Plymouth.
The trio will join Aaron Cruden and Liam Messam for the first time this campaign - after that pair was rested in the opening-week victory against the Blues - while two-test halfback Augustine Pulu is set to make it six current All Blacks in the run-on XV.
Pulu has earned his maiden start of the season ahead of Brad Weber, after the Waikato halfback impressed in the opening rounds, one of seven changes to the starting line-up.
Williams' recall sees Charlie Ngatai move back to centre and leaves Seta Tamanivalu content with a spot on the bench, while Tom Marshall will also return from injury to start at fullback and shift James Lowe to the win ahead of Hosea Gear.
