The Auckland Blues snapped a woeful losing record downing a 12-man Wellington Hurricanes, while the Melbourne Rebels coasted past the Golden Lions in Super Rugby on Saturday.
The Blues ended a run of 25 straight losses in away games in New Zealand with a 24-15 win over the Hurricanes in Wellington.
The Auckland side has unearthed a self-belief after returning victorious from South Africa where they toppled the Northern Bulls and the previously unbeaten Western Stormers in recent weeks. Captain Patrick Tuipulotu said there is a new determination within the side. “There’s certainly a difference in mood... it’s a good feeling,” he said.
But yellow cards to Marika Koroibete and Tom English in the final 10 minutes of the half allowed the Lions back into the contest.
