The Blues coach Pat Lam has made two changes to his starting 15 for Friday's final Super Rugby round robin match against the Highlanders in Auckland.
Lachie Munro is in for the injured Rene Ranger on the left wing, while Chris Smylie gets his first start at halfback because Alby Mathewson hasn't been able to train this week.
Lam says Matthewson should be cleared to play by tomorow but he's on the bench to ensure he recovers fully from a head knock received in the away loss to the Crusaders.
Flanker Daniel Braid was bracketed on the bench after more than three months out with a neck injury, but he'll play for his University club so Sean Polwart is in the 22.
