Blues (6) 11 / Chiefs (7) 16 (Final Score)
The Blues hosted the Chiefs at Eden Park, Auckland at 09:35 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
The Blues stumbled for the 3rd time in 4 weeks, the Chiefs finally coming to some kind of form, late in the competition.
Ideal result for the South African challenge on the competition as a whole!
Scorers:
Blues: 2 Penalties Luke McAlister, 1 Try Jared Payne
Chiefs: 1 Conversion & 3 Penalties Stephen Donald, 1 Try Tana Umaga
