Sonny Bill Williams is likely to be exempted to wear a Blues jersey without the logos of two major rugby sponsors.
A statement is being prepared from New Zealand Rugby, the Blues, Investec and the Bank of New Zealand.
All are expected to state they have no issue with Williams' objection to wearing bank logos on his playing jersey.
Williams caused a stir by taping over the BNZ logo on his jersey in his Blues' Super Rugby debut, against the Highlanders last Saturday.
The issue is yet to be fully explained by Williams, but is believed to have been due to his Muslim faith, which goes against the notion of banks charging interest and fees on loans.
While the Blues were unaware he would tape over the logo, Williams' management is confident the clause was included in his New Zealand Rugby contract.
The Blues will face the Hurricanes at 7.35pm Saturday.
