    A change in competition could see a different approach from the Chiefs

    A change in competition could see a different approach from the Chiefs


    The beaten Super Rugby Aotearoa finalists are in Perth to face the Force in their trans-Tasman opener tonight.

    The Chiefs scored the least points and the lowest number of tries in the all-Kiwi competition.

    Assistant coach Roger Randle says that came down to how they utilised penalties they earned.



    Kick-off's at 11:55pm.
