Head to Head


The Blues have won all four previous matches against Moana. The average winning margin has been 20.8 points.

Blues Form


The Blues are having an atrocious time of it this season and find themselves 11th on the table. They have just won two of their seven games, but they are just four points off the top eight, so a playoff is still possible.

Strangely enough, the Blues wins have come home and away against the Hurricanes this season. They have not beaten anyone else.

Before beating the Hurricanes last weekend 19-18 at home, the Blues lost heavily to the Crusaders and suffered two one-point losses in a row to the Chiefs and Brumbies.

Blues Injuries & Team News


The Blues have yet to name their side but they are likely to make a few rotational changes.

Moana Pasifika Form


Moana are enjoying their best season in Super Rugby to date with three wins from seven games. They are currently eighth on 15 points.

The Islanders have won their last two games, away to the Crusaders and at home to the Waratahs. They scored 45 points in both games while conceding 28 and 29.

In fact, three of their last four fixtures have ended in victory. Their only defeat came in a 50-25 loss to the Chiefs on 21 March.
