    A strong performance last week has seen Pita Gus Sowakula force a slight reshuffle to the Chiefs pack for the Super Rugby Aotearoa final


    Sowakula moves to blindside for the match against the Crusaders due to the return of Luke Jacobson at number eight, with Mitch Brown moving into lock

    Coach Clayton McMillan says Sowakula earned the spot the old fashioned way.
