The Blues have thrashed the Yokohama Canon Eagles 57-22 in a pre-season match in Japan.
After leading 31-5 at the break, the Blues came back out and piled on the points with fresh legs.
A late sin binning to Kurt Eklund gave some life to the Eagles and they went on a bit of scoring spree late and played with excellent pace out wide.
There were a number of standouts for the Blues as Vern Cotter will be pleased with some performances.
Stephen Perofeta and Zarn Sullivan were solid while Caleb Clarke was excellent on the wing, but up front it was Anton Segner and Hoskins Sotutu stealing the show.
The two loosies were in everything and will be a dangerous combination throughout the season.
The Blues head to New Zealand to take on the Chiefs next Friday at 3pm in their final pre-season match.
Meanwhile, in other pre-season matches today, the Crusaders beat the Bristol Bears 31-14 while the Highlanders thumped the Hurricanes 52-17.
