The Highlanders will be looking for a seventh successive win over the Chiefs when the two teams collide tonight.
Both these sides suffered semi‑final heartbreak last year, losing to the Lions and Hurricanes respectively.
It's a farewell season for Chiefs head coach Dave Rennie, along with his assistant Kieran Keane and fly‑half Aaron Cruden, which will mean there is that bit more riding on things from the outset.
Meanwhile Waisake Naholo has been named on the wing for the Highlanders.
The Chiefs will take on the Highlanders at 6.35 this afternoon while the Reds will host the Sharks at 9pm.
Tomorrow, the Sunwolves will host the Hurricanes at 4.15pm, the Crusaders will take on the Brumbies at 6.35pm while the Waratahs will take on the Force at 8.45pm.
