KEY POINTS:
The Chiefs today made three injury-enforced personnel changes to their backline for the Super 14 rugby match against the Bulls on Saturday.
Winger Viliame Waqaseduadua, centre Dwayne Sweeney and second five-eighth Callum Bruce return to the starting 15 for the match in Rotorua.
Sweeney is himself coming back from injury, having been sidelined with a haematoma, while Bruce has been elevated from the reserves.
Coach Ian Foster had his hand forced with Sosene Anesi, Richard Kahui and Sitiveni Sivivatu all out with ankle injuries.
Foster has also moved skipper Mils Muliaina from the midfield back to his customary position of fullback.
There are changes in the forwards as well, with tighthead prop Ben Castle, openside flanker Tanerau Latimer and No 8 Sione Lauaki in the starting 15 after having been in the reserves last weekend.
Liam Messam switches from No 8 to blindside flanker in a reshuffled loose forward combination.
