Hello and welcome to this Super Rugby fixture which sees the Blues welcome the Cheetahs to Eden Park. Both teams season has yet to get going and with qualification extremely unlikely, the teams are playing for pride here. The Cheetahs were involved in an epic 86 point thriller, when they let slip a 17 point lead in the final 5 minutes against the Highlanders last week. Meanwhile the Blues come into this off the back of an impressive win against the Waratahs. These teams last met back in 2015, where the Cheetahs edged out the Blues 25-24. Join us in 10 for live updates throughout!
Will this be close or will the blues run away with it? 🤔
