It’s a battle between the two underperformers so far in Super Rugby Pacific, with the banged-up Canes hosting the out of form Blues. There’s still All Black match ups across the park, with Cam Roigard and Peter Lakai starting for the home side, and Rieko Ioane, Caleb Clarke and Mark Tele’a in the Blues’ backline. Kick-off is at 7:05pm NZT.
