Robertson also told reporters ahead of their 'Super Rugby Aotearoa' clash with the Highlanders that promising loose forward Cullen Grace would be out of action for up to two months following surgery to fix a broken thumb. Robertson's side have won their first two games of the 10-week competition involving New Zealand's Super Rugby teams and can overtake the unbeaten Blues at the top of the table with a win. Robertson said the decision to make five changes for the clash with the Highlanders was aimed at keeping the side fresh.
