Live updates: Super Rugby - Hurricanes v Blues in Wellington
The Hurricanes have produced an impressive come-from-behind victory to beat the Blues 29-24 in Wellington.
After naming a weakened side due to already making the playoffs - the Hurricanes struggled early, making errors and throwing sloppy passes.
The Blues came out of the sheds with intent to score early and quickly - which is what they did, scoring the opening try through Tanielu Tele'a.
The Blues kept attacking the Hurricanes line and the home side kept defending - until the 36th minute where Augustine Pulu sent Caleb Clarke through to take the lead to 17-0.
But the second half belonged to the Hurricanes and it was also a fair reflection of the Blues' season - lots of mistakes and ill-discipline.
