Meanwhile, former All Black loosie Liam Messam will make his return to Super Rugby from the bench in the Chiefs game against the Blues at Eden Park on Saturday.
With a place in the final against the Crusaders already confirmed, Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan has included six debutants in his youthful side.

The Sharks had led by as many as 20 before Taranaki rebounded.

Cunningham top scored for the Sharks with 18 points, while Marcel Jones scored 23 for the Airs.
It was the Sharks first home game in 665 days.
