Piri Weepu will be left out of the Blues lineup for their second Super Rugby warm up match against the Waratahs this weekend.
Coach Sir John Kirwan said the All Black halfback still needs around another 10 days before he's fit and ready to take the field.
Captain Ali Williams has better news however, with an extra month in the Blues camp allowing him to start and lead the side for the first time.
Meanwhile, only two matches will be played in the opening round of the 2013 Super rugby season.
The Rebels will play Force at 8.40pm next Friday and the Brumbies will take on the Reds at 8.40pm Saturday.
