The Blues will play their northern-most game of 2018 when they take on the Hurricanes in Warkworth today.
Northland will provide five players for the Blues as they look to continue their strong pre-season form towards the start of the Super Rugby season.
Lock Josh Goodhue will be part of the first-half side while Jordan Hyland and Tamati Tua will be on opposite wings in the second stanza. Prop Ross Wright and halfback Sam Nock are named as replacements.
The game will be played at Mahurangi Rugby Club, kicking off at 4pm.
Blues coach Tana Umaga said they were looking forward to getting more Northland spectators along to the match.
