The Blues have made three injury-enforced changes for Saturday's top-of-the-Super Rugby-table clash against the Brumbies in Canberra

The Ioane brothers, whose absence was signalled earlier in the week, have been replaced by Anton Segner at blindside and Bryce Heem at centre.

Tom Robinson was originally due to move back from lock to blindside but a head knock suffered on Tuesday has seen him withdraw.

Sam Darry returns to the run-on side at lock.

Daniel Lienert-Brown and Liam Coltman return to the Highlanders starting front-row for Sunday's home game against the Waratahs, with Sam Caird starting at lock against his old side.
