The Blues have a lineout on the rebels 10m line. Nanai slices through the midfield and gets the Blues within 10m of the tryline.

The Blues are looking for the first win away from home this season.

The Rebels have a superior ruck and scrum success percentage, but the Blues come out tops in terms of lineout success, tackle success rate and they have run further with ball in hand.

Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of the Melbourne Rebels vs the Blues. The Rebels are a much improved team and are looking for consecutive victories over New -Zealand opposition after a great victory over the highly rated Chiefs last week. The Blues began the season off very poorly, but have since improved their performances tenfold, they come off a big win against the Force. This is a tough match to call and should go down to the wire.
