Blues captain Patrick Tuipolotu will make a remarkable return from a knee injury, playing lock in the starting side facing the Chiefs at Eden Park in the Super Rugby Pacific final tomorrow night. 

However - many of the 44,000 sold-out Eden Park crowd will be coming up from Hamilton.  

Chiefs Assistant Coach David Hill told Heather du Plessis-Allan “We understood last year that we had a really good squad – but ultimately we didn’t come away with the final.” 

Hill said “That experience – as harsh as it was – it really helped us.”
