- 2378
A closely fought match between these two sides, with the Blues coming out on top in the end. The Sunwolves started well and were the first side on the board after Patrick Tuipulotu was sin-binned for a late tackle. Tim Lafaele got the first try of the match in the 21st minute after a great run and an even better offload by Hayden Parker. Jordan Hyland got one back for the Blues 6 minutes later as the Sunwolves took a 10-5 lead into the break. Akira Ioane brushed off a few tacklers 10 minutes into the second half to put the Blues into the lead for the first time in the match. Dalton Papali'i then scored a fantastic try shrugging off 6 defenders on his way over the line in the 56th minute. The final points of the match came in the 76th minute when Hyland finished off a great team try to dive over in the corner for his second try of the match. Full time: 10-24
