The Blues make history in Hamilton

The Blues broke their nine year losing streak to the Chiefs in Hamilton as they defeated them 24-12 last night in Super Rugby Aotearoa.

Hoskins Sotutu who has links to Fiji scored the Blues first try in the 14th minute from a line-out where the forwards went to work through the pick and drive system.

The Chiefs replied through the boots of Damien McKenzie closing the gap to a 10-9 game at the break.

Beauden Barrett showed some fantastic play in the game slotting over a drop goal to widen the gap to 16-12.

Mark Telea's try sealed the Blues historic win.

The Blues have dedicated the win to the late Constable Matthew Hunt, who died in West Auckland earlier this week after a shooting incident.

The Blues next game is against the Highlanders at Eden Park next week.

The Crusaders will take on the Hurricanes at 3.35 this afternoon.
