The Blues thumped the Chiefs 25-0 last night as they kept the hosts scoreless for the first time in Super Rugby history.

The Blues defence was impressive, they didn't let the Chiefs score while they were missing players to the sin bin.

The Blues scored a length of the field try to Tom Robinson, which was sparked by Mark Telea and Rieko Ioane and included a Beauden Barrett cross-field kick.

It's the first time the Chiefs have failed to score a point in their 26-year history.

The Blues have six wins from seven games while the Chiefs have four wins from seven matches.

In the earlier match in Wellington, the Hurricanes were beaten 24-21 by the Crusaders in a crucial match for both sides.

Trailing by three points the Hurricanes were awarded a penalty with time up in Wellington, but they chose to kick to touch rather than attempt a score levelling penalty goal, which would have sent the game to golden point.

However, they couldn't free the ball from the ruck after the next line-out and the game was brought to an end.

The Hurricanes have now had three consecutive close losses and have just two wins from their six games so far.

The Crusaders have six wins from seven games, like the Blues.
