The Blues have snatched the Brisbane Global Tens title after defeating the Hurricanes 10-7 in the final last night.

The men from Auckland concluded the final with a try after the full-time siren from the hand of George Moala as the Blues were trailing 7-0 to Hurricanes at halftime.

Without a Super Rugby playoff appearance since 2011, the Blues gave their confidence another injection as the Super Rugby season draws closer.
