SYDNEY: The Auckland Blues failed to secure a bonus point but stayed top of the Super Rugby Trans-Tasman standings after a 31-24 victory over the Queensland Reds at Lang Park in Brisbane on Friday.
The Reds beat the Waikato Chiefs last week to secure a first victory for the five Australian teams in the competition but were unable to back it up after playmakers James O'Connor and Bryce Hegarty were late injury withdrawals. The Blues made the most of the extra man to run in tries through flanker Dalton Papalii and winger Mark Telea and skipper Patrick Tuipulotu crashed over the line to extend the visitors' lead to 24-7 early in the second half.Paenga-Amosa quickly responded for the Reds but Blues scrumhalf Finlay Christie confirmed his fine form with an opportunistic try to restore the lead to 17 points.
Earlier in Christchurch, the Super Rugby Aotearoa champion Crusaders overcame the Western Force in an arm-wrestle of a match.
Being cancer-stricken and begging CPF Board to repay overdue debt; that which in any case cannot be done as the money had been commingled and funneled to private entity Temasek Holdings for Ho Ching to wager on unviable, untenable and ultimately, invariably doomed gambles
