The Blues admit they have backed themselves into a corner and it is on them to find a way out if they are to book a spot in the Super Rugby Aotearoa final.

After starting the year as one of the title favourites, their season now hangs in the balance as they fight to stay in contention.

Leon MacDonald's side has lost their killer instinct in recent weeks, tasting defeat in three of their last four matches.

The Blues are currently third on the points table with the Chiefs in second place with a point difference.

Blues winger Caleb Clarke says they have a challenge on their hands and they have to win both of their remaining matches.

Clarke says the Crusaders are down right now and it is their time to pounce.

The Blues will take on the Crusaders at 3.35pm Sunday and the Chiefs will face the Hurricanes at 7.05pm tomorrow.
