The Blues triumphed over the Chiefs with a decisive 41-10 victory in the 2024 Super Rugby final, held at a rain-soaked Eden Park on Saturday evening.

Fans braved the wet conditions to witness the Blues, led by captain Patrick Tuipulotu, lift the trophy after dominating the Chiefs throughout the match.

The Blues established a commanding 20-3 lead by halftime, effectively neutralising the Chiefs' renowned forward pack.

The win marks a significant achievement for the Blues, who showcased a robust performance from start to finish.

The match was a display of strategic prowess and athletic excellence, leaving the Chiefs unable to recover from the early deficit.

Attention now turns to the All Blacks, who are set to unveil the first squad of 2024 on 24 June, with 32 players being named ahead of the Steinlager Ultra Low Carb Series.

This squad announcement marks a significant milestone as the first under new Head Coach Scott Robertson.

Excitement is building with the introduction of a notable change in the selection process, where all four Assistant Coaches—Jason Ryan, Scott Hansen, Leon MacDonald, and Jason Holland—are focusing on specific positional groups.
