Moana Pasifika and the Blues meet in a catch up match on Tuesday night to make up for a postponed game earlier in the season. Join The Roar for live scores from 5:05pm AEDT.
Both teams have made bulk changes after securing victories on the weekend. No doubt the coaching staff are mindful of player burnout with three games in just over a week.
Samoan international Jack Lam will lead the Moana side with eleven players set to make their debut.
The Blues will be without Beauden Barrett after his head knock with Stephen Perofera to start at flyhalf.
“It is both a challenge and an exciting opportunity,” said Blues head coach Leon MacDonald.
“The situation is simple. You can’t play your most experienced players three times in eight days. It may not by ideal but we just get on with it.
