Blues v Crusaders

I was lucky enough to win 2 free tickets to see the Auckland Blues play the Canterbury Crusaders in the opening round of the new Super 15 season at Eden Park. We were given great seats in the top tier of the new south stand.




A good crowd of about 32,000 turned up for the game, and we were treated to many All Blacks playing for their teams. Crusaders had the best of the first half and went in 19-6 at the break.






But in the second half the Blues fought back with lots of pressure and the backs playing a good running game.






The tries then came, including this one by Tony Woodcock, and the Blues got a close win 24-22 and the majority of the crowd went home happy.
