MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The Auckland Blues can ill-afford a third successive defeat when the winless champions travel to face the Wellington Hurricanes for a blockbuster clash in the third round of Super Rugby Pacific on Saturday.
Humbled at home by the Waikato Chiefs and beaten away by the improving Otago Highlanders, the Blues are mired at the bottom of the table and with a number of their All Blacks under scrutiny after a slow start.
