Blues last in Super Rugby Pacific after Chiefs loss

The Blues are now at the bottom of the Super Rugby Pacific table after a narrow loss to the Chiefs, who remain in first place. The competition is tight, with the Hurricanes moving up five places after defeating the Highlanders. The Highlanders lost 20-18 to the Hurricanes, missing key chances late in the game. Controversial refereeing decisions added to their frustration. The Crusaders, however, showcased their strength with a 55-35 victory over the Force, featuring two players scoring hat tricks. The Waratahs faced a setback, losing 35-15 to the Reds. A promising start to their season has been overshadowed by this defeat, and they now face challenging upcoming matches in New Zealand and Fiji.
