Dan Carter will miss another match due to his leg injury after the Crusaders left him out of their team to play the Chiefs at Waikato Stadium on Saturday.
Carter ran at about 90 per cent at training on Tuesday, but is not sufficiently right to play after limping from
the field in the round one defeat to the Rebels.
Colin Slade, who impressed at No10 against the Highlanders last weekend, will start there again against the Chiefs.
Israel Dagg is another absence following his first-half thigh injury in the 26-20 victory over the Highlanders.
Tom Taylor starts at fullback instead, with halfback Andy Ellis named on the reserves bench following his return from Japan. Todd Blackadder has resisted the temptation to include blockbusting wing Nemani Nadolo after his return from Japan.
