The Blues' Mils Muliaina , who scored two tries against the Reds on Sunday, including the last-minute winner, looks likely to miss the rest of the Super 12 round robin phase.

Muliaina broke a bone in his hand during that match and will be replaced for Friday night's match in Rotorua against the Chiefs by former Bay of Plenty and New Zealand sevens star Justin Wilson.

This will be Wilson's Super 12 debut, although he has already represented New Zealand A on their tour of Europe at the end of 2000, scoring a try against Wales A in Cardiff.

The other change in the Blues' backline sees Craig Innes, who replaced Rua Tipoki in the Reds' match, retaining his place at second five eighth.

The full Blues' squad is:
1 Craig Dowd
2 Slade McFarland
3 David Taumoepeau
4 Robin Brooke
5 Troy Flavell
6 Xavier Rush
7 Matua Parkinson
8 Ron Cribb
9 Steve Devine
10 Carlos Spencer
11 Justin Wilson
12 Craig Innes
13 Jeremy Stanley
14 Doug Howlett
15 Orene Ai'i

substitutes:

16 Keven Mealamu
17 Paul Thomson
18 Charles Reichelmann
19 Craig Newby
20 Joeli Vidiri
21 Rua Tipoki
22 Mark Robinson
