Mitch Karpik back on, stitches and all… looks worse for wear…
Melani Nanai over… looks held up or touch and goal.

Try is awarded…
Blues 10 / 8 Chiefs

This is a critical game for both sides, but more so for the Blues.
If the Blues lose this one, their chance of getting into contention for the play-offs will be gone… because they are currently on only 21 Log Points.
The Chiefs are on 24 Log Points, so if they win here, they are right up there with teams like the Brumbies, Rebels, Sharks & Highlanders. If however they lose, they will remain amongst the bottom dwellers. Chiefs however would have already played 13 games in Super Rugby, so even if they win, they will still be behind the 8-ball…
2nd Half ON!
Chiefs penalty at goal… hits the post and Ruru clears to touch.
Blues penalty at goal… not a difficult one.
Blues 13 / 8 Chiefs
Blues defensive lineout, deep in their own 22.
Almost a Chiefs try… no try, Brad Weber was way in front of the kicker, so back for a Blues relieving penalty.
3 Subs on for the Chiefs
Only the Sunwolves already totally out of the running for the play-offs…
The Log jam this season much closer than years before.
The next game up after this one, between the Reds vs Waratahs has much the same impact as this one, with the loser there damaging chances to reach the play-offs.
Try Blues!
TMO
Try stands…
Blues 18 / 8 Chiefs
17 Minutes to go… the deficit is 10 points.
Chiefs will have to score soon if they want to be in with a shout in this game.
TJ Faiane with a good run, loses the ball in contact… Chiefs counter.
10 Minutes to go, 10 points deficit.
Chiefs penalty on the Blues 22… kicked to the corner.
THIS is the Chiefs chance…
Penalty advantage is played…
Try Chiefs!
TMO
Try looks good to me…
Oooo TMO rules he lost the ball…
Double standards!!
Back for the Chiefs 5m penalty.
One single TMO decision can ruin a team’s season…
Chiefs still pounding the Blues try line… 2m out…
Sam Cane gets close…
