The All Black Tony Woodcock returns to the Blues front row for their Super 14 rugby clash with the Crusaders on Saturday night.
The Blues' head coach Pat Lam relegated Woodcock to the reserves for the Queensland Reds match, because he said while the loosehead prop was physically fit he wasn't fullly focussed.
Lam says the way Woodcock responded when he came off the bench in Brisbane ensured he'd start in Christchurch.
The other change has Viliami Ma'afu back at number eight for the injured Peter Saili while Isaia Toeava remains on the injured list so Renee Ranger starts at centre again.
