Super Rugby Rd 12: Blues vs Cheetahs
- 1152
Blues recorded a BP win despite a brave effort from the Cheetahs. After a close first half, the scores at half time 24-18, tries coming from the Ioane brothers, Scrafton and Tuipulotu from the Blues. Meanwhile, Venter and van Jaarsveld crossed over for the Cheetahs in a half which both sides displayed some leaky defence.
After the break, the Blues turned it on with some great attacking rugby. Luatua, Pulu, Nanai and Rieko Ioane scoring a second try thanks to a break by brother, Akira. The Cheetahs showed some heart towards the back of the game, a notable mention for sub hooker Huggett who scored 2 tries off the back of the maul and put himself around the pitch.
