Rieko Ioane has most certainly been a shining light for the Blues during their continued descent into Super Rugby this season.
The remarkable 21‑year‑old gets set to slip on the black jersey to launch his second full season of test rugby.
Iowane has edged out Fiji born Crusaders winger Seta Tamanivalu who was not picked as he will be leaving for France at the end of the season.
The Blues are on bye this week.
On Friday, the Crusaders will take on the Hurricanes at 7.35pm while the Sunwolves meet the Rebels at 9.45pm.
On Saturday, the Jaguares face the Sharks at 7.40am, the Chiefs take on the Waratahs at 7.35pm and the Reds meet the Highlanders at 9.45pm.
On Sunday, the Bulls will take on the Brumbies at 1.05am, while the Stormers will meet the Lions at 3.15am.
