The Blues have lost their last 25 away NZ derby games. Underdogs.
That truly is an awful stat.
I don't think we are going to win this, but I thought the same against the Stormers. Seems to be that sort of competition this year.
If we do win, that cements that the Blues have turned a corner.
That's 6 years without a win away in NZ? That is surprising
Tana was coach for three years, so there is half the time
Kirwan was not much better. -

Lam made the semis, then had a horror run with injuries (Kaino ended up at lock).

I meant in terms of timing. I can't remember how long Kirwan was in the job for. Either way, it's a shocker of a run.
Looking at the way your lot are playing now, I imagine that will be easily ended this season? Who do you have to play away once BB is back? Chiefs and Highlanders?

oh, I think Kirwan was three years too, and Leon has had one. So Lam is the distant past now.
Yes, the away game against the Highlanders is the target to kill this stat.

@Kirwan only need to look at the table now, presently have to be one of the more even comps?
4 points separates 1st place (Stormers and 8th place Blues - who, as we know beat the stormers on the weekend)
NZ Conference even tighter with 'saders on top with 14, 'canes, Chiefs, Blues all 13 and Highlanders 5, although all those teams bar the blues have a game in hand.

I can't wait until they get rid of the stupid Pool ranking system. 5 teams that should be ahead of the Brumbies and two teams that should be ahead of the Crusaders

Pedant alert
I appreciate what you have done but it's not correct. Chiefs over Blues as we have beaten them and Hurricanes above chiefs due to points diff.

Blues last away win vs NZ team was the first game of Kirwan's tenure - round 1 2013. Against Canes. Lam finished in 2012.

@KiwiMurph Haha then we hammered the Crusaders the next week and everyone thought we were heading back to the glory days. We ended up winning 4 more games that year.....
-
@African-Monkey was that the game that Moala had a blinder and scored that brilliant try from a cross kick?

@taniwharugby said in Hurricanes v Blues:
Four games in and the Sunwolves have a negative points differential of over a hundred.

and that includes one good win

@Canes4life Yup that's the one. Chris Noakes was our 10 that day as well so miracles can happen from time to time...

This was a big reason for the fade throughout that season....

@African-Monkey Wasn't it Baden Kerr??

@Canes4life He was backup.
