Damian McKenzie to No 10 as Chiefs look to get attack firing in Super Rugby Trans-Tasman


Western Force will host the Chiefs in Perth in the opening round of Super Rugby Trans-Tasman.
The Chiefs have shifted star playmaker Damian McKenzie to first five-eighth as they look to get their stuttering attack back on track in their Super Rugby Trans-Tasman opener against the Western Force in Perth on Saturday night.
In naming their side on Thursday, the Chiefs have handed McKenzie the No 10 jersey for the second time this season, which sees Bryn Gatland play from the bench and Chase Tiatia start at fullback.
That was the formation used for the final 35 minutes of last weekend’s Super Rugby Aotearoa decider defeat against the Crusaders, and McKenzie has usually finished games in the pivot role this year, but the Chiefs are looking to defy their arduous travel schedule and shoot out of the blocks at HBF Park by getting their attacking whiz running the cutter.
