OPINION: The Blues might just be back and New Zealand rugby should be better for it. A bit of red and black tenacity added to the traditional blue and white adventure has produced a pretty potent mix. They’d become the laughing stock of the local Super Rugby scene, not just with their performances but also with their selections or, more notably, their non-selections. New Zealand rugby finds itself at an interesting juncture on the back of last year’s World Cup semifinal exit. If this Blues revival continues Foster will be forced to look more closely at MacDonald’s men to try to make New Zealand rugby stronger.
