The Blues have been forced into a late reshuffle for tonight's crucial Super Rugby Pacific clash against the Chiefs

Wing Caleb Clarke, prop Ofa Tu'ungafasi and loose forward Cameron Suafoa have all been scratched after sustaining midweek injures.

A.J. Lam replaces Clarke on the wing with Cole Forbes coming on to the bench, alongside Marcel Renata, with Angus Ta'avao promoted to the starting side.

Suafoa has been replaced in the reserves by Tristyn Cook, who is in line to make his Super debut.

Kickoff's at five past seven.
