    Blues stand-in captain Tom Robinson concedes his side are dissatisfied with how their Super Rugby Aotearoa campaign ended

    Blues stand-in captain Tom Robinson concedes his side are dissatisfied with how their Super Rugby Aotearoa campaign ended


    After looking odds-on favourites to make the all-Kiwi final after five games, the Auckland franchise dropped two of their final three games to ultimately finish third.

    Robinson says they had too much confidence after a strong 2020 season.



    The Blues take on the Rebels in Melbourne tonight, kicking off at 9:45.
