The Blues were impressive in their bonus-point victory over the Rebels in Melbourne in round one, and they have been bolstered further by the return of All Blacks Jerome Kaino and Patrick Tuipulotu. Kaino and Tuipulotu have been named on the bench, with All Blacks prop Ofa Tu'ungafasi also coming on to the bench alongside Charlie Faumuina. The presence of George Moala and Rene Ranger on the bench as backs cover means the Blues have six All Blacks primed for impact roles against the Chiefs. Reserves: Hame Faiva, Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Charlie Faumuina, Patrick Tuipulotu, Jerome Kaino, Billy Guyton, George Moala, Rene Ranger.
