Three Northland players are in action this weekend as the Super Rugby season intensifies.
Matt Moulds will continue to back up incumbent Blues hooker James Parsons as they take on the Brumbies in round 10 of the competition.
Both sides are desperate for a win. The Blues have only won three matches this season and are coming of a bye following a heart-wrenching 28-24 loss to the Hurricanes.
The Brumbies meanwhile sit top of the Australian conference but have struggled all season long and come into the clash on a two game losing streak.
Northlanders Josh Goodhue (hamstring) and Rene Ranger (ankle) were both unavailable for selection because of injuries.
