West gets us under way with kick just outside the sharks 22m

The Blues will be hoping to end a ten-game losing streak against the Sharks when they host them at Eden Park in Auckland today.

The last time the Blues beat the Sharks was way back in 2005, when the Kiwis won 36-13 at home. Since then, there has only been one team in the rivalry and overall the Sharks boast 14 wins to 8.

30 min before kick off in Auckland. Blues vs Sharks here we go.

I don't see the Sharks getting over the line today. Too many unforced errors on average per match and the blues will pounce on these opportunities.
