The Blues will be without their number one halves pairing for this weekend's crucial Super Rugby encounter with the Cheetahs.

Piri Weepu has joined Chris Noakes in flying back to New Zealand, with a rib injury picked up in the loss to the Sharks.

The Blues will play the Cheetahs at 1am this Sunday. 

Meanwhile, at 7.35pm this Friday, the Crusaders will take on the Chiefs.
