The unbeaten Blues today made one switch to their starting 15 for their Super 14 rugby match against the winless Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Sunday morning (NZ time).
Winger Rudi Wulf comes in for Anthony Tuitavake, who moves to the bench.
There are two other changes among thereserves, one being the inclusion of Northland lock Bronson Murray, who is in line to make his Super 14 debut.
Murray replaces Nick White, while Anthony Boric is back in the 22 ahead of Hawke's Bay lock Bryn Evans, who got his first taste of Super rugby in the 55-10 drubbing of the Bulls last weekend.
Coach David Nucifora said the selection of the wingers for each match was always going to be tight because of the talent within the squad.
He had not complaints about Tuitavake's performance against the Bulls, but Wulf had earned his chance after having done well when coming off the bench.
Nucifora said continuity was the key factor in deciding to keep the rest of his starting line-up intact against the Cheetahs, who have suffered one-point losses in each of the first two rounds.
He did consider giving some players a spell and others a run, but there were no problems with tiredness or injury within his tour party.
He said the Blues were helped by the fact that they were in South Africa early in the competition, rather than later on, when players could be jaded or carrying injuries.
"We're fresh and injury-free, so continuity is the most important thing at the moment," he said.
"We'll worry about resting players and giving others a go as the season wears on and we start to get niggles, etcetera."
