Carter was initially named on the bench for the clash, but felt a tightening of the calf during training yesterday and was later ruled out by coach Leon MacDonald.
Other top players that will start for the Blues are Beauden Barrett, Patrick Tuipulotu, Akira and Reiko Ioane and Mark Telea.
Rising star, Hoskins Sotutu has been ruled out due to a injury.
