Blues prop Tony Woodcock has joined a number of forwards on the sidelines after suffering a foot sprain in last Friday's 40 23 victory over the Rebels.

Woodcock will certainty miss Friday's crucial clash with the Highlanders however there are fears the injury could be for longer term.

It is a massive blow for the Blues who will face a Highlanders pack still fizzing from their upset victory over the Crusaders over the weekend.

Blues play the Highlanders at 7.35pm this Friday.
