All Blacks fullback, Damian McKenzie's much anticipated return to Super Rugby will have to wait at least a week.

The 24-year-old was a late withdrawal from the Chiefs' team to face the Blues in the competition opener in Auckland tomorrow night, due to a groin strain.

Shaun Stevenson will come from outside the 23 to start at fullback for the match at Eden Park.

The Chiefs will face Blues at 6.05pm tomorrow.
