The Blues savoured a return to transtasman relations by running riot in Melbourne on Saturday night.
After winning two of the last six games in their disappointing Super Rugby Aotearoa campaign, the Blues reduced the Rebels to a bumbling mess to highlight the disparity in opposition and maintain New Zealand s four-from-four record to start the transtasman competition.
The Blues scrum, led by powerful All Blacks prop Karl Tu inukuafe s best performance of the season, destroyed the Rebels to set the tone for the statement performance. There was no respite when Ofa Tuungafasi and Nepo Laulala came off the bench, either.

All Blacks blindside flanker Shannon Frizell has been omitted from the Highlanders first game of Super Rugby Transtasman, following reports of bad behaviour.
The decision comes after the 27-year-old was alleged to have assaulted a woman at a Dunedin bar last weekend, with reports on Monday noting Dunedin police were investigating the incident and Frizell had not been charged with anything at this point. The Highlanders also noted they were aware of the allegations and were also investigating the incident.
