    Blues women's co-captain Maia Roos expects her side to hit the ground running in this afternoon's Super Rugby Aupiki clash against the Chiefs Manawa in Pakuranga

    Blues women's co-captain Maia Roos expects her side to hit the ground running in this afternoon's Super Rugby Aupiki clash against the Chiefs Manawa in Pakuranga


    It comes after the Blues were held scoreless in the first half of last week's opening round victory over Matatu, going on to win 24-17.

    Roos explains why the slow start won't happen again.



    The Blues are without fellow co-captain Ruahei Demant, who's been ruled out with a wrist injury. Daynah Nankivell takes her place at second five.

    Kickoff is at 2.05pm - with live commentary on Gold Sport Extra via iHeartRadio only.
