Blues punish ill-disciplined Waratahs

11:11 am on 26 April 2014

The Blues have sent the New South Wales Waratahs home from Auckland empty-handed yet again with a much-needed 21-13 Super Rugby win at Eden Park.

The Waratahs are in danger of falling out of the top six after a sloppy performance littered with handling errors and missed opportunities.

Tries either side of halftime to winger Lolagi Visinia and centre Francis Saili and 11 points off the boot of five-eighth Simon Hickey were enough to earn the Blues their eighth win from nine Super clashes with the Waratahs in Auckland.

Jacques Potgeiter briefly gave the Waratahs hope when he steamed onto a Foley pass to crash over in the 57th minute.
