Blues coach happy with Tuivasa-Sheck's debut performance

Blues coach Leon MacDonald has given Roger Tuivasa-Sheck a passing grade after his Super Rugby debut in their disappointing last-minute loss to the Hurricanes.

Tuivasa-Sheck has had to wait over a year to make his rugby union return due to Covid restrictions but looked at home in the No.12 jersey as he played the full 80 minutes in the 33-32 loss in Dunedin.

The 28-year-old finished the game with 50 metres gained from 11 runs, made 13 tackles and wasn't afraid to throw offloads he mastered during his time in the NRL.

The Blues now exit the Super Rugby Pacific bubble in Queenstown with a shot at redeeming themselves on home soil when they host the Chiefs at Eden Park on Saturday.

In matches this week, the Crusaders will meet Moana Pasifika at 6.05pm Friday, the Fijian Drua will take on the Rebels at 8.45pm Friday, Western Force will face the Reds at 11pm Friday, the Chiefs will play the Blues at 3.35pm Saturday, the Hurricanes will meet the Highlanders at 6.05pm Saturday, and the Brumbies will take on the Waratahs at 8.45pm Saturday.
