The Blues, however, will return to Auckland in a buoyant mood after securing their first win - 24-12 - over the Chiefs in Hamilton since 2011. To add more context to the significance of this win for the Blues – they have now won two of their past 18 games against the Chiefs. Watching Barrett's strike sail through the posts sparked the Blues into life late in the second half. Warren Gatland, on the other hand, has plenty to ponder after the Chiefs dropped their second straight match in this competition. Blues 24 (Hoskins Sotutu, Mark Telea tries; Otere Black con, 2 pens, Beauden Barrett dropped goal, pen), Chiefs 12 (Damian McKenzie 4 pens).
