Gallagher Chiefs fans will be embracing first home game
The Gallagher Chiefs will take on the Crusaders at the earlier kick off time of 7.05pm at FMG Stadium Waikato on Saturday. The evening game is set to excite spectators following the two sides last encounter in Fiji. A fantastic display of running rugby saw the Suva crowd erupt when the Gallagher Chiefs beat the 2019 Investec Super Rugby Champions 40-27.
This Saturday will see Gallagher Chiefs Head Coach Warren Gatland lead his side for the first time back on home soil. The battle won’t just be held on the field but in the coaching boxes, with Gatland and Crusaders coach Scott Robinson going head to head directing their star-studded teams. It is guaranteed the game proudly sponsored by Splice Construction will provide some entertaining fast-paced rugby.
For the first home game of the Investec Super Rugby season it is only appropriate the Gallagher Chiefs members are celebrated. This weekend’s members appreciation round, will see the Club celebrating and rewarding this year’s Gallagher Chiefs members with 20% discount on additional match tickets for family and friends when purchasing online, exclusive beverage discounts on-game day with their 2020 Member lanyards and special merchandise deals including a 40% discount on the C96 range which will only be available on Saturday at the game.
