Auckland Blues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Blues, originally known as the Auckland Blues, are a New Zealand rugby union team based in Auckland, New Zealand, and representing the Northland, North Harbour and Auckland unions. This resulted in a situation where the Auckland Blues did not represent all of Auckland as North Harbour consists of the northern sector of the Auckland metropolitan area; yet the Blues also possessed Thames Valley as part of their franchise base, an area considerably closer to Hamilton than Auckland City. The Blues are at their best when they are playing fast, free-flowing rugby and have what is regarded by rugby commentators as potentially one of the most deadly backlines in the rugby world that can score tries prolifically as they have demonstrated on many occasions. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Auckland_Blues   (550 words)

The Blues were on top at the break, although the Cats' forwards were giving them a torrid time and the Blues' 11-3 advantage was perhaps a little fortuitous. But he was on hand on a rare occasion the Blues made a foray into the visitors 25, picked up a loose ball and shrugged off a couple of Cats' tackles to crash over the line. sportsillustrated.cnn.com /rugby/news/1999/04/17/blues_cats   (461 words)

Carlos Spencer Biography Spencer has been one of standout New Zealand players in this season's Super 12 and surely will be in the reckoning of the All Black selectors again this year. Even though there are banners at most rugby games at Eden Park from women asking Carlos Spencer if he would like to marry them, the Blues first-five-cum-fullback, who has the ability to send 40,000 screaming fans to their feet in wonderment with a sly dummy pass, remains a quite bloke of the field. 2002 has been a frustrating season so far for Blues fans and their coaching staff. carlosspencer.250x.com /bio.html   (560 words)

Super 12 Final The loss, the Blues' first at Eden Park and their first to another New Zealand team in the Super 12, was not without honour. Not wanted by the Blues at the start of the season, it was ironic that Kerr should sink them with his second try of the season. They turned the pressure back on Auckland and against the run of play, big Norman Maxwell capitalised on some Blues blundering on defence, picked up the loose ball and loped to the tryline. homepages.ihug.co.nz /~coombs/cantab/match/final.htm   (809 words)

Auckland - The Crusaders trounced the Blues 41-19 in an unexpectedly lop-sided Super 12 clash which had been seen as a virtual All Black trial and was played with Test-match intensity on Saturday.
