The Blues have maintained a high level of consistency in Super Rugby over the past four years. In the previous season, they secured the third position on the table, winning 10 out of their 14 games. In the quarter-final, the Blues displayed confidence by defeating the Waratahs 41-12 in Auckland. However, their momentum took a hit the following week when they were convincingly beaten 52-15 by the Crusaders in Christchurch.

As they enter the current season, there is optimism surrounding the Blues, despite facing tough competition from other New Zealand teams. The team boasts a wealth of quality, with significant international experience, positioning them as strong contenders near the top of the table. With the All Blacks scrumhalf position up for grabs, Finlay Christie is anticipated to have a pivotal season.

Furthermore, regular All Blacks starters such as Mark Telea, Caleb Clarke, and Rieko Ioane are expected to play prominent roles throughout the tournament.

The Fijian Drua have made a remarkable impact since joining Super Rugby. As they embark on their third season in 2024, buoyed by their quarter-final appearance in 2023, they have high hopes for the current year. In the previous season, the Drua demonstrated significant progress by winning six out of their 14 games, a considerable improvement from their inaugural season, where they also displayed promising signs.

Achieving a spot in the quarter-finals was a major accomplishment for the team. Despite falling short in the last eight with a 49-8 loss to the eventual champions after defeating the Crusaders earlier in the season, it was a commendable effort considering their overall performance. In the current season, their objective is once again to secure a spot in the knockout stages.

This promises to be a thrilling match, with both teams favoring an attacking style of play. While the odds strongly favor the Blues, the Fijian Drua have proven themselves as formidable opponents in this matchup. Anticipating a high-scoring affair at Eden Park, I predict the Drua will perform well within the 17-point handicap. Additionally, considering Mark Telea's impressive form from the previous season, I am placing my support behind him in the try-scoring markets.
