The Hurricanes secured a decisive 47-24 victory over the Blues at Eden Park, demonstrating their dominance from the start. Warner Dearns opened the scoring with a try in the 8th minute, quickly followed by a second try from Jordie Barrett, both converted by Ruben Love. The Hurricanes continued to apply pressure, with Pasilio Tosi adding another try just before halftime, leaving the Blues trailing 21-7 at the break. In the second half, Malachi Wrampling-Alec gave the Blues some hope with a try, but the Hurricanes responded swiftly, with Kini Naholo and Fehi Fineanganofo crossing the line shortly after. The Blues fought back, scoring late tries through AJ Lam and Kurt Eklund, but it wasn't enough to close the gap. The Hurricanes' relentless attack, led by Love and Barrett, proved too much for the Blues, who struggled defensively throughout the match. Ultimately, the Hurricanes' victory reinforced their strong form in the competition.
