The Crusaders triumphed over the Blues 21-14 in a closely contested Super Rugby match at Apollo Projects Stadium. The Blues took an early lead with tries from Tele'a and Ioane, both converted by Barrett, before Braydon Ennor received a yellow card for the Crusaders. However, the Crusaders responded swiftly, with Tom Christie and Will Jordan crossing the line, both converted by Reihana. In the second half, Jordan scored again, cementing the Crusaders' lead. The Blues' efforts were hampered by a yellow card for Sotutu late in the match. Beauden Barrett's performance was notable for the Blues, while Will Jordan's brace proved crucial for the home side. This victory marked the Crusaders' continued dominance over the Blues in their recent encounters.
