Highlanders winger Josh McKay gets to the ball just ahead of Blues first five-eighth Beauden Barrett but the ball went forward at Forsyth Barr Stadium yesterday. They were big, strong and hit hard. The Blues scored five tries to two and had the game won when they scored a try straight after halftime. They never gave the Highlanders a sniff, being strong on defence and attack. The Blues were adept at slowing down any Highlanders ball and were allowed to the get in the Highlanders’ side of the breakdown too often.
