Consecutive losses in consecutive derbies have taken many fans by surprise, and the Blues have their work cut out for them with their next opponents, the Hurricanes.
The team will be without both Taufa Funaki and Adrian Choat for the game after both players made early exits from round two’s dramatic loss to the Highlanders in Dunedin.
An additional injury to lock Laghlan McWhannell has paved the way for a potential debut off the bench, with Cam Christie named in the No. 19 jersey. 10 All Blacks remain in the starting lineup for the game.
“Last week we had a great start,” said Blues head coach VernCotter. “But we need to put in an 80-minute performance.
“We have had two good starts against the Chiefs and the Highlanders but we need to put good things on good things for an entire 80-minutes.
“There was an improved attitude and performance, and we need to continue to work hard every day and continue to show those improvements on the field for 80 minutes.”
Cotter says his side know to expect a physical contest from the Wellington side.
“They were typically aggressive when we played them in pre-season and I am looking for further improvement in our set phase and collisions to match them.”

All thanks to everyone for the recommendations
FINALLY! THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME
To be honest, not all recovery agents are legitimate. After several attempts to reach out to different recovery agents, I found many scams. It became a frustrating experience, as each one seemed more interested in my money than actually helping me recover my losses. At one point, I had nearly given up hope of getting my funds back, until someone from my church recommended Trust Geeks Hack Expert. Intrigued and desperate, I decided to reach out to them. I'm so glad I did. From the very first interaction, the service provided by Trust Geeks Hack Expert was nothing short of professional and efficient. They took the time to listen to my story and understood the urgency of my situation. They assured me that they would do everything in their power to help recover my lost funds. I had initially lost money through three different hyper-yielding investment platforms: Moni Global, Hybrid Trading, and Reserve FX. All three companies claimed to have their operations registered in both the UK and the US, but I soon realized they were nothing more than fraudulent schemes designed to deceive investors like myself. These companies initially lured me in with promises of high returns, claiming to be licensed and operating legally. They had all the necessary paperwork and websites, which made them appear legitimate. I invested my money, expecting great returns, but instead, I ended up losing everything. After some time, I couldn’t get in touch with anyone from these platforms, and it became apparent that I had been scammed. At this point, I was desperate and didn’t know where to turn. That’s when Trust Geeks Hack Expert stepped in. They quickly analyzed my case and began working on my behalf, investigating these companies and their fraudulent practices. They made sure to keep me updated at every step, which gave me a sense of reassurance throughout the entire process. To my surprise, they were able to recover my lost funds in full. This was an incredibly satisfying outcome, and I truly appreciated their dedication and expertise, Trust Geeks Hack Expert support team is available 24/7 Website w w w :// trust geeks hack expert . c o m/ -- E m ai l : Trust geeks hack expert @ fast s e r v i c e . c o m -- Te le G r a m, Trustgeekshackexpert
Definition of insanity.
So many All Blacks in that side last week completely outperformed by ‘no name’ players, not for the first time, and as usual no selection consequences for it.
Are coaches in NZ being told not to drop All Blacks? They get picked regardless so it shouldn’t matter. Barrett was awful, and Rieko yet again demonstrated school-level core skills. No wonder players leave in frustration.
