Blues captain Augustine Pulu is backing his side's backline to shine in this season's Super Rugby opener against the Highlanders in Dunedin on Friday.
With the Auckland side looking to make a flying start to the 2018 season, coach Tana Umaga has named blockbuster midfield duo Sonny Bill Williams and George Moala to start, while Rieko Ioane and Matt Duffie are on the wings.
Speaking to media today, Pulu said that he's confident that the star backline will be able to see their side come out on top in their trip south.
"Right across, we've got the talent," he said.
"We're really nailing down on our game sense, understanding when to run, when to kick and that's really key to success."
"Our coaches and trainers are putting in a really good plan, we just can't wait until Friday."
