The Super Rugby Aotearoa final has been confirmed, with the Crusaders to host the Chiefs in two weeks.
The Crusaders' 29-6 win over the Blues eliminated the Auckland franchise from contention.
This was the first time in four years the Blues failed to score a try.
The Blues needed at least a bonus point to remain a mathematical hope of making the final leading into this weekend's game against the Chiefs.
Even if the Blues win by a bonus-point this week, they will still lose out their spot in the final since the Chiefs have more wins than them.
The Chiefs have won five of their seven matches while the Blues have only won three games so far.
The Chiefs will play the Blues at 7.05pm Saturday while the Hurricanes will face the Highlanders at 7.05pm Friday.
