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.
