The Highlanders have beaten the Blues 34‑16 in their super rugby match in Auckland.
The Highlanders raced out to a 12‑nil lead in the opening minutes of the game but the home side pulled the deficit back to 12‑11 before the Highlanders edged out to a 20‑11 halftime lead.
The second half though was dominated by the Highlanders who scored six tries in the match and with loose forward Shannon Frizell scoring a hat-trick.
The Blues have not beaten a fellow New Zealand side since they recorded a 33‑31 victory over the Highlanders in the first week of the competition in 2016.
In another match last night, the Lions thrashed the Waratahs 29-0
