BLues just didnt let up, even when they should have succumbed while men down, kept the heat on the Chiefs, who just couldnt get into the game and forced into errors

that tackle by Eklund at the end fo the first half that dislodged teh ball was monstrous in the context of the game, the win, the bonus point, and our season.

Ofa?

@nzzp and Ofa's trysaver....several 'moments' that made a mark on the game

[Steven Harris]

@tim will have to go into the history books ..

[Kirwan]

One of the great Blues performances. Huge defence, extremely fun to watch.

At least you didn't go full TJ and say it was Highlanders/Canes/Crusaders

Just calming down now. That was a really good win, an absolute highlight. Still plenty to work on, discipline just terrible at times, and it cascades. Romano, looking at you fella.

The team look well coached, and patient. Remarkable defence, particularly against the maul. Will be really tested next weekend, but it's been improving for a few years now.

Big game next weekend. Friday 7pm, can't wait

That's 5 wins from 7 over the Chiefs in the last three years?

[Duluth]

Blues have won 5 of the last 6 vs the Chiefs

First time Blues have kept them to nil (previous low was 8 in 2019)

Highest margin of 25 (previous record margin was 20 points in 2021)

Pretty happy about that given the awful record we had against the Chiefs under Kirwan/Umaga

[nzzp]

@duluth first time the Chiefs haven't scored a point according to the herald

[number9]

Chiefs scrum got owned noatter who was on.

[Duluth]

Papali’i 22 tackles 0 misses
Robinson 16 tackles 1 miss

Hope we see a Dalton/Akira/Robinson combo at some stage

[ACT Crusader]

Well done Blues.

Great coaching.

Lowest point as a Chief’s supporter since Foster was in charge. Even the losses last year didn’t have me down like this as we at least competed.

Today, we were hardly in it.

Pretty pleased for the blues fans, as that franchise appears to be finally turning the corner, and lots of players -who should be ABs - really stood up on their side today.

For us, it’s pretty bleak. We’ll be rocks and diamonds (like many of our players) until we get our game drivers up to a consistent standard.

Looking forward to Big Red in black this year.

@tim Thought he was a real nuisance today, he and goodhue tore into everything.
Cane looking more and more like a 6 and a half.
