The final whistle blows at Baypark Stadium, as the Chiefs take all four points from this physical battle. The Chiefs deservedly claim their fourth win in a row against the Blues, who take a losing bonus from the game. Thanks for following us on Ultimate Rugby, see you next time.

The Blues finally crack the chiefs defence, with a nice wrap around from Gibson-Park and great hands from Ranger releasing Moala down the left to score, and bring the Blues within the losing bonus point.

5 minutes to go, the Blues are pushing hard for a score, taking a quick tap from a penalty, but are struggling to make clean breaks in the face of stern Chiefs defence.

With just over ten minutes left the Chiefs are now on top, physically dominating the Blues pack. The Blues are struggling to string any sort of possession together.

The Blues attempt to clear their lines, moving the ball to Francis Saili to kick. But Kahui gets up on him quickly and makes a great block down and collects the ball for a stroll in under the posts.

55 minutes gone, and a great chip over the top by Cruden gets the Chiefs into Blues territory. They get to the Blues line, but concede a penalty with the line at their mercy, allowing the Blues to clear their lines.

The Blues respond well to going behind, playing through a number of phases before Messam is penalised for being offside at the side of the ruck. Anscombe converts.

The Chiefs get over the line after a sustained period of possession but are held up and given a 5 yard scrum. The ball is moved to centre field from the scrum, where substitute Ben Tameifuna sneaks over from the back of the ruck.
Arch you there?

After a good start to the half from the Blues the Chiefs have recovered and are now camped on the Blues line, looking to score. 45 minutes gone.
