Blues coach David Nucifora has stuck with the team that defeated the Highlanders last week for this week's crucial game against the Hurricanes.
Nucifora said the team has performed well over the last few weeks and sees no reason for change.
"We have stuck with the same forward
pack for most of the year and they have produced some excellent results," he said.
"We've been happy with our scrum and line-out in the last couple of weeks and its good to have continuity going into a big game."
Nucifora says he has been happy with the combination between Taniela Moa and Isa Nacewa, hence Nick Evans remains at Fullback.
