After 22 days away from home, six flights and three bruising games, the team has returned home to begin prep for Saturday’s match against the Crusaders.  Before we hit the ground running towards one of our biggest games of the season, team doctor Stephen Kara needed to conduct a post-tour medical check. The results are […]

The Blues came to the high veldt of South Africa looking for a rock-hard ground and dry conditions for running rugby. They came away out-classed in all aspects of the game on a miserably wet night at Emirates Airline Stadium in Johannesburg, beaten seven tries to one in a 43-5 result in their Investec Super […]

The absence of enduring lock Josh Bekhuis is the notable omission from the Blues team to take on South African front runners, the Lions in Johannesburg on Sunday (NZ time).
