Cape Town - The Chiefs have made eight changes to their side that will face the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday, with 18-year-old Anton Lienert-Brown given his Super Rugby debut.
According to the Chiefs' official website, the defending champions have made eight changes to their run-on fifteen from the one which lost to the Force in Perth last week.
Prop Pauliasi Manu, hooker Rhys Marshall, lock Matt Symons, flank Tanerau Latimer and No 8 Kane Thompson have been bought into the starting line up for the forwards.
In the backs, Tim Nanai-Williams who experienced a minor hamstring tweak in the last game will move to the bench and is replaced by Andrew Horrell.
