Congratulations to the Blues. Worthy Super Pacific 2024 champions!

The Blues needed an old-school stern c-unt to make them play to their potential. What a surprise!!!

[Donsteppa]

I don't think Vern will be very stern after this one.

Vern Cotter's a great coach. He'd have been a much better call for AB coach after Steve Hansen than Fozzy.

Sititi in a losing team jumps out - 9 runs for 37 metres, 22 tackles made, 1 missed.

I know, yet he'll waltz into the ABs.

What a spanking, great to see

[Gunner]

Gee that was so impressive, from the opening whistle, to the last.

Well played Blues, well played.

[gt12]

Too good.

I’m pleased because Cotter has shown what kiwi players can do when they focus on set piece and going through the middle. Clarke scored three but its got little to do with him.

[ACT Crusader]

Well done Blues. Brought the heat and Chiefs couldn’t deal with the pressure and gave away far too many penalties.

[booboo]

Darry has to be in the ABs.
Big motor, good in the lineout.

Yep. Have come around to Darry, especially over Strange

What a wonderful day for ALL New Zealanders. The most dominant Super Rugby performance in history from the greatest Super Rugby team in history, New Zealand's team, THE AUCKLAND BLUES.

Scott Robertson you are on notice. You will ignore these players at your peril.

Could be 50+ points here. Record for a SR Final?

Didn’t the Saders beat the Tahs by 90? Was that a final?

Last home and away game. Played them in the semi the next week and racked up 40 odd.

He'll get some very angry posts on a rugby forum from some Auckland based Polish chicks.

[No Quarter]

Absolutely dominant performance. Chiefs started well but the Blues weathered that brief storm then just went to work and blew them off the park. Awesome.

I’m giving this an upvote for the second paragraph, the first was a bit over the top

AJ LAM, what a stat line.

Made more tackles than any other Blues back, no turnovers, no penalties,

12 runs, 67 metres (both behind Clarke) and 7 (yes, 7!) defenders beaten.
