Leon MacDonald says his side is back in the fight after Hurricanes victory

Blues coach Leon MacDonald says his side is back in the fight after breaking their two-game losing streak with a 27-17 win over the Hurricanes.

After the Highlanders shock 33-12 victory over the four-time defending champion Crusaders on Friday, the competition has a very open feel to it.

The victory sees the Blues move just four back of the Crusaders and just five clear of an improving Highlanders in third with four rounds remaining before the grand final.

MacDonald says they understand how important four points are and how critical losses are at this time of the season as they were starting to head to the end.

Meanwhile, Frank Lomani scored a try and ran some brilliant lines as the Reds got a step closer to a home grand final after a 44-19 victory over the Rebels in the Super Rugby AU.
