"Tuesday is a huge opportunity for these players, they have trained hard and are ready to get game time under their belts," said Wales head coach Gatland. "Coming all the way to New Zealand, it was important we had a big enough squad for the three tests but also to provide game time for the players on tour and this match gives the players a chance to stake their claim for the final two tests against the All Blacks. "We were hosted fantastically well by the people of Waikato in the 2011 Rugby World Cup, so it's great to be back and to give something back to the region. "The Chiefs are without a number of their All Blacks but still boost a strong side and from my playing days I know they will be right up for the fixture against a touring nation."
