Blues centre Rene Ranger has reportedly signed for French rugby club Montpellier.
Ranger who has played three tests for the All Blacks will leave for France at the end of the Super season.
There are now concerns with midfield options for the All Blacks with Richard Kahui going offshore and Conrad Smith taking a leave at the end of the year.
Meanwhile, Blues coach, Sir John Kirwan has decided to stick with the philosophy of not changing a winning side.
He has named his Blues team to face the Crusaders at Eden Park tomorrow at 6.30pm, with no changes to the 22 man squad that defeated the Hurricanes.
Meanwhile, in another two matches tomorrow, the Rebels will play the Waratahs at 8.20pm while the Reds will take on the Hurricanes at 10.20pm.
