THE AUCKLAND BLUES sparked some much needed life into their Super Rugby season as they beat the NSW Waratahs 21-13 at Eden Park.
The New Zealanders, who were warned to buck up their ideas by scrum-half Piri Weepu midweek, looked the better team throughout but benefited from one huge slice of luck that swung the tie in their favour.
Out-half Bernard Foley attempted an ambitious cross-field kick that almost had right winger Cam Crawford home free for a try. Instead, the ball bounced cruelly and straight to Blues winger Lolagi Visiniga. The rest was pure, Super Rugby, offloading magic.
Here are the highlights of the game, including a super Ma’a Nonu skip pass.
