Show Preview
The ladder-leading Blues face their toughest Super Rugby Trans-Tasman test so far, a date with the Brumbies. Keep up to speed with this intriguing match on The Roar with live scores from 5:15pm (AEST).
The Aucklanders have barely put a foot wrong so far, obliterating the Rebels 50-3 before towelling up the Waratahs 48-21. Failing to make the Super Rugby Aotearoa final was a bitter disappointment for the Blues, but they’re well on their way to atoning so far in Trans-Tasman with some imperious displays.
The Brumbies left it all on the park in Round 1’s heartbreaking loss to the Crusaders, but were disappointing in the follow-up last week – losing 40-19 to the Chiefs. The Super Rugby AU runners-up have what it takes to knock off a Kiwi side on their day, but they need a considerable lift from last week’s effort.
Kick-off: 5:15pm (AEST)
Venue: Eden Park, Auckland
Live stream: Stan Sport
