    Blues coach Vern Cotter's given an insight into how he'll use his three All Black first-five options as they defend their Super Rugby Pacific title


    Beauden Barrett, Stephen Perofeta and Harry Plummer will all be in competition for the ten jumper.

    Cotter says responsibilities are likely to be shared.



    Cotter says Perofeta has a minor leg issue.

    All Blacks lock Sam Darry is out for the season - he's likely to need surgery on a shoulder injury suffered at training.
