The Blues need to get out of their half, they have had virtually no territory.

Fantastic set move by the Hurricanes puts Smith through a gap before offloading to Nonu in the tackle. A loose pass from Nonu goes forward and the Blues breath a sigh of relief. Blues scrum inside their own 22m.

The Blues lose the ball at their lineout and the Hurricanes easily go 40m to get within a sniff of the tryline. Visinia does brilliantly to read the play and execute an interception and go 90m to score under the poles. Just what the Blues needed.

Braid shows good technique to get over the ball and win a penalty just as the Hurricanes were gaining momentum. West sets up a lineout on halfway.

After 14 phases, Savea gets the ball at centre and makes easy work of the few defenders in front of him and does everything except dot the ball over the line as he knocks it on. Opportunity lost, but the way the Hurricanes are dominating general play, they will surely have another shot soon.

Classy stuff from the Hurricanes backline. They are extremely dangerous on the counter attack. The Blues will need to ensure all their kicks go out. Hurricanes showing some incredible offloads in the tackle which allow them to get over the advantage line with ease.

It is all the Hurricanes in the opening 10min. The Blues fail to get numbers to the breakdown and the Hurricanes easily win a penalty for holding on. Barrett sets up a lineout on the Blues 22m line.

Visinia does brilliantly to gather a high ball, but a pass is lost forward. The Hurricanes counter attack from within their own 22m and immediately slice the defence, after some neat switches, Perenara gets an easy run in from 50m out.

Hurricanes are making easy ground off every phase. They show great hands to exploit an overlap and Procter gets within 5m of the tryline. Penalty awarded to the Hurricanes for the Blues being offside.

West puts through a grubber kick but it is not dangerous at all. Savea gathers the ball and dots it down.
