Dubbo CYMS' Chapman has been a representative regular in recent years but heads into Saturday's edition of the western grudge match as one of only three returning players in the Group 11 squad.
Given no matches were held last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, much has changed in the Group 11 landscape since the two met in June of 2019.
The one thing that hasn't changed is the desire to end Group 10's winning streak, which currently stands at seven successive victories.
"It would be amazing," Chapman said of beating Group 10.
"I don't think league tag has ever won against Group 10. It would be amazing to go out and give it a good crack and hopefully come home with a win."

Youth and speed could well make that happen for Group 11.
That's what the new-look squad features, with Chapman, Parkes speedster India Draper, and Forbes' Courtney Hodge the only players to have been a part of the side in previous year.
Chapman's CYMS teammates Sophie Whiteman and Skye Crawford are in while the Macquarie Raidettes will be well-represented by Ebony Furner, Bindi Shaw, Isabella Attwater, Payton Reynolds, and Shay Nade.
"It's very, very different compared to the last few years but it looks like a skillful team and I think there's a lot of fast players in there," Chapman said.
"I look forward to it every year if I can get selected. Just the chance of playing with some news girls and seeing what they can show me."
While excited about her own new-look team, Chapman remains well aware something special will be needed to end Group 10's dominance at Lithgow's Tony Luchetti Sportsground on Saturday.
It's very, very different compared to the last few years but it looks like a skillful team.

The Group 10 squad is again headlined by a strong contingent from the dominant Bathurst St Pat's league tag outfit.
Mish Somers will lead the side which features teammates Erin Naden, Bronte Emmanuel, Meredith Jones, Paige Hay and Hannah Kelly
"It's a whole new level and they've got a lot of talent as well. They're a very competitive team," Chapman said of Group 10.
"Their team is just constant. It's normally the same faces every year so they know how each other play."
Group 11's squad also features Wellington pair Jacyntah Powell and Keelie Blackhall, Narromine duo Maddison McGuiness and Daniella Frail, and Nyngan youngster Bailee Griffiths.
The league tag match starts the action on Saturday and kicks-off at 12.30pm.
