WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The Blues and the Brumbies will attempt to show off their playoff credentials in a pivotal contest Saturday in Super Rugby Pacific.
The Auckland-based Blues and Canberra-based Brumbies share second place on the championship standings, three points behind the unbeaten Hurricanes with matching 6-1 records.
If one team has a built-in advantage on Saturday, it is the Blues who are unbeaten in their last nine matches at home. The Blues have scored 110 points in three home matches so far in 2024, conceding only 19 points. Their only away loss so far has been to the Hurricanes.
The Blues also have the best defensive record in the tournament with only 95 points conceded in seven games. The Brumbies are third on defensive standings behind the Blues and Hurricanes but having conceded 50 points more than the Blues.
