Blues defeated Brumbies 46-7 in Super Rugby Pacific, adding to Australia's struggles against NZ teams.

The Blues thumped the third-placed Brumbies 46-7 at Eden Park in a Super Rugby Pacific match, marking another reality check for Australia's top-tier rugby teams against New Zealand sides. The win followed the Brumbies' previous defeat by the Chiefs 46-12 in Melbourne. Stephen Larkham's Brumbies now face some soul-searching after their "systematic" dismantling by the Blues.
