Blues coach Leon MacDonald says Beauden Barrett's sore ribs prevented him from training all week and only his determination to hold on to the No 10 jersey got him to the starting line against the Highlanders yesterday.

MacDonald says he is a bit of an understated hero.

He says Barrett showed a lot of old-school toughness to play with sore ribs and anyone who has had sore ribs understands how tough it is.

MacDonald says he got hit off the ball at one point, straight in the ribs, and he jumped back up again.

The Chiefs will take on the Hurricanes at 7.05pm Saturday while the Crusaders will face the Highlanders at 3.35pm Sunday.
