    Coach Vern Cotter believes beating the Crusaders 29-13 will galvanize the Blues after a few bumps to start the Super Rugby season

    Coach Vern Cotter believes beating the Crusaders 29-13 will galvanize the Blues after a few bumps to start the Super Rugby season


    A Caleb Clarke hattrick fired the Blues to only their second win over the Crusaders in their past 11 attempts at Eden Park.

    Cotter says it was a pleasing win...but they have to keep building.



    The Reds have beaten the top of the table Brumbies 34-31 in Canberra and the Highlanders have squeaked past the Force 39-31.
