Chiefs coach Colin Cooper has opted to rest All Black Brodie Retallick for their clash against the Jaguares tonight.
This match will be the Jaguares’ first ever visit to Chiefs Country, after playing the Chiefs only once in Argentina in 2016.
That game went down to the wire with a late Brad Weber try securing the win.
Cooper has decided to rest Brodie Retallick, bringing in Michael Allardice who put in a strong performance against the Hurricanes.
The most capped Chiefs player, Liam Messam, will start in the number 8 jersey.
The Chiefs meet the Jaguares at 7.35 tonight while the Crusaders face the Rebels at 9.45 tonight.
Tomorrow, the Waratahs meet the Blues at 5.50pm and Hurricanes face the Lions at 7.35pm.
The Stormers meet the Bulls at 1.05am Sunday while the Highlanders clash with the Sharks 3.15am Sunday.
