The make-up of the Canterbury NPC side to face Auckland this weekend might not be confirmed until shortly before kick-off.
Justin Marshall has already been ruled out with his knee injury and Aaron Mauger may also be forced out of the game as his wife is expecting their first child.
Coach Aussie Mclean says it is a situation out of his control.
The much talked about Dan Carter is likely to shift back to second five if Mauger is ruled out.
Norm Maxwell missed Tuesday's training with headaches, although it is likely he will train on Thursday.
