Saturday's last-minute thriller between the Blues and Brumbies at Eden Park, set the scene for the weekend's DHL Super Rugby Pacific final between the Blues and Crusaders. MacDonald was delighted with how the Blues performed to be up 20-7 at halftime. Rain over the break led to a change in the way the Brumbies played while holding the Blues scoreless. MacDonald did query the honesty of his captain and star player on the night, first five-eighths Beauden Barrett. MacDonald said the final was shaping as a thriller, and he was hopeful the weather would have improved because the two teams liked to use the ball.
