All Blacks and Blues star Beauden Barrett is set for a stint on the sidelines after fracturing his hand in last night's loss to the Brumbies.
Barrett was forced from the field at halftime in Auckland last night after scoring a superb individual try.
The Blues confirmed the injury today, which will see Barrett out of action for several weeks.
"The injury requires ongoing assessment before determining details of treatment or time required for recovery," the Blues said in a statement.
The Blues' 21-20 loss to the Brumbies was their third defeat of the season, the defending champions sitting in seventh on the points table.
Next weekend they travel over the Bombays to meet the Chiefs in Hamilton.
