Just two injury enforced changes to the Chiefs side to take on the Hurricanes this Friday night.

Dwayne Sweeney slots back into second five replacing the injured Tana Umaga.

Sweeney will partner Richard Kahui in midfield - Kahui's been named despite nursing a bruised calf.

In the forwards, Isaac Ross comes in at lock replacing Romana Graham, who has a shoulder injury.

Its the first start for Isaac Ross since the round nine clash with the Crusaders in Tauranga.

There's a further two changes to the bench with Tim Nanai-Williams and Jackson Willison coming into the reserves.

Chiefs: Mils Muliaina (captain), Lelia Masaga, Richard Kahui, Dwayne Sweeney, Sitiveni Sivivatu, Stephen Donald, Brendon Leonard, Fritz Lee, Tanerau Latimer, Liam Messam, Isaac Ross, Craig Clarke, Nathan White, Hika Elliot, Ben May. Reserves: Aled de Malmanche, Toby Smith, Culum Retallick, Matt Vant Leven, Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Tim Nanai-Williams, Jackson Willison.
