FULLTIME: BLUES 13 - 20 JAGUARES: The Jaguares were just far too good at the set piece and they've beaten their first Kiwi opposition in New Zealand. The Blues were poor and despite leading for a period of time, never looked comfortable or likely to hang on for the win.
80mins: Jags fluff their own lineout and the Blues are back in possession but Pulu knocks it on and that should just about to do it. The Jags have a scrum with what should be the final play of the game. They win it back and they kick it out! Game over. Their first win over a Kiwi side.
78mins: Apisai's throw is stolen and the Jags look to have it, before the hooker has another crack at the ball on the ground but can only knock on. Scrum time. Blues win the penalty! They opt for the lineout just eight or so metres out. Nevermind, Apisai's throw is stolen once more.
76mins: Jags somehow get the ball under control from the scrum and they clear up towards their own 10m. Blues running out of time. They need to score twice to win.
74mins: Blues try a cheeky chip over the top but the knock on and the Jags look to counter! Lezana is in open space before finally being tackled just over halfway. Blues win it back and now they look to attack. Rieko makes a rare mistake and knocks it on cold.
72mins: Montoya goes from hero to villain as his throw isn't straight. The Blues will have the scrum on the Jags 10m. Blues very lucky to get away with that. Ref rules both front-rows went up but it looked like the visitors had the upper-hand. Another scrum.
70mins: Bertranou's box kick is an average one and the Blues have a lineout near their 22m. Apisai finds his jumper right in front and the Blues look to launch. Montoya does brilliantly at the breakdown and wins the penalty.
68mins: JAGUARES PENALTY: An early shove from the Blues earns the Jags a free-kick and the put it high! Duffie takes it comfortably before the kick it straight back. Pryor tackled the player without the ball and the Jags win another penalty. Sanchez will have a shot at goal from about 25 metres out. Takes it quickly and nails it.
66mins: Blues win the lineout on the Jags 10m and Papali'i takes it up. Replacement hooker Apisai is tackled ball and all and he knocks it on. Lavanini doing what Lavanini does and goes looking for confrontation. Akira not having it.
64mins: JAGUARES TRY - LEZANA: Scrum goes down immediately but the Jags break away. Landajo finds a rampaging Lezana who looks to be short, but rolls over for the try right in front of the sticks.
62mins: They're keeping it very tight as the rain continues to bucket down. The ball is unplayable and the ref awards a scrum to the Jags just five out from the try line. They showed great composure there but they need points.
60mins: Jags win the lineout after an initial bobble but recover well. They're inside the Blues 22m and are just plugging away. They go and left and Boffelli steps inside, beating a couple and they're now just five metres out.
57mins: Jags make a mess of the restart and the Blues look to hit back from the scrum. They get it back and go wide to Hyland, who beats one on the outside but his pass infield can only find a man in orange and he clears deep.
55mins: JAGUARES TRY - BOFFELLI: De le Fuenta gets a great flat ball off the scrum and he busts through a couple of tackles and they're up to the 22m. They go left, Tuculet puts Orlando into space and he simply draws in the last defender before giving it to Boffelli who dives over for the try. It's been coming.
53mins: Duffie is crushed in a good tackle but the Blues still it have it. They're going backwards, but they have it. The Jags' defence finally takes its tole and Parsons knocks on.
51mins: Meanwhile, Pulu's made his way onto the field. Blues win their own lineout ball and look to drive before Pulu puts the kick up and the Jags have it on halfway.
49mins: Jags don't care if it's not their put in to the scrum, they've just walked right over the top of the Blues and win the penalty. They'll pack down again. They go right from the scrum and Landajo is penalised for not releasing. Blues survive yet again.
47mins: Jags putting the heat on at the scrum once again and the Blues bumble it into touch because of the pressure. Creevy's throw is not straight and the Blues survive. Somehow.
45mins: Petti wins the ball and they drive. They're moving it nicely and they're just five metres out. Blues do well to wrap the ball up and force the sack. Great work by Manu.
43mins: Duffie again under the high ball and takes it in. Creevy steals the ball at the breakdown and the Jags look to launch inside the Blues half. Ruru doesn't release at the breakdown and they kick it into touch for a lineout.
41mins: We're back underway and Landajo puts the kick up for Duffie to take it down. Blues look to attack around halfway and Leger puts the kick through.
HALFTIME: BLUES 13 - 5 JAGUARES: Very strange first half of footy. The Blues looked the better in the middle period, but the visitors' superior scrum saw them win a ton of penalities. They were right on the Blues try line for what seemed like an eternity but somehow didn't score.

40mins: Another great Jags shove and they win another penalty. We'll packdown again please and thank you. What's that? Another penalty and the dreaded double whistle sounds. We'll have another. Blues this time hold their own and the Jags go wide. Ioane is penalised. Phew, very lucky not to get another yellow. They pack down once and again begin to drive. Sanchez tries a little magic but he loses it forward and the Blues somehow hang on. That's halftime. Finally.
40mins: They win the lineout and drive! They do eventually peel away and look to pick and go. They're just five metres out. Pryor tackled with no arms and they turn down an easy shot at goal for a scrum.
39mins: The Jags decide to put an almighty shove on the Blues scrum and win the penalty. Meanwhile, Alemanno is now down. Sanchez finds touch for a lineout inside the Blues 22m.
39mins: Blues win the lineout and take it up through Akira. He's back on the field by the way. Goodhue is down so the ref calls time as play was heading his way. Got a forearm from Garcia Botta straight to the face. His evening's done.
37mins: Boffelli showing his skills in the air and again wins the ball back from the restart. Petti makes a strong run and they're just seven metres out from the try line. Creevy is again penalised at the breakdown for playing the ball on the ground.
35mins: BLUES PENALTY: Jags imploding now. Ref clearly yelled released but they decide to hang onto Duffie and it's another Blues penalty. Blues lose the ball but Creevy is immediately penalised for leaving his feet at the breakdown. Perofeta will line up a shot at goal from about 40 metres out straight in front. Strikes is nicely and it's over.
33mins: Goodhue wins the lineout but the Blues knock on before the Jags cough it up right after. No advantage, so Jags scrum just outside their own 22m.
31mins: Ruru puts the kick up and Sanchez's effort to keep the ball in play results in a Blues throw-in for the lineout just over halfway. Desio tackles the jumper in the air and Perofeta finds touch around the 22m.
29mins: BLUES TRY - DUFFIE: Goodhue wins the lineout and the Blues burrow their way towards the try line with a number of pick and go's by the forwards. They're just five metres out. Duffie gets it on the right, spins out of one tackle, and somehow reaches out for the try line and he's over! Perofeta's curling effort from out wide hits the post.
27mins: It's a poor throw from Parsons but Rieko cleans up and they're up to the 22m. Jags not supporting their body weight at the breakdown and it's a penality to the Blues right in front of the sticks. Right, they want the lineout instead and turn down the shot at goal.
25mins: Blues do well a second time to stuff the Jags drive and they're forced to break away from it. They're keeping it tight but good Blues defence forces the knock on and it'll be a scrum. Ruru cloes quick off the scrum and clears, but Tuculet runs it back well, and he's almost through, but he's deemed to have run into his own player and that's a Blues penalty for obstruction.
23mins: Blues go early once again and concede the penalty. Jags want another lineout and drive but this time the home side front up and legally sack the maul to win the scrum. Great effort. Ruru clears, but can only find touch around his own 22m.
21mins: Cowley-Tuioti goes high and takes the ball from the restart but Mafileo pushes a Jags player off the ball and he's penalised. Stupid play. We'll have a lineout please. Expect another drive.
19mins: BLUES TRY - MANU: Rieko Ioane goes through the first tackle off the back of the lineout move and the Blues are just five metres out. Paapali'i now with a strong run and he's just inches short. Perofeta sees Manu out wide by himself and fires the long pass to his winger and he dives over for the try in the left corner.
17mins: Petti drops it from the restart and the Blues have an opportunity to hit back with a scrum on the 22m. They are a man down however. Jags front-row go down immediately and Perofeta finds touch for a lineout six or seven metres out.
15mins: JAGUARES TRY - CREEVY: It's nicely set and they're marching towards the try line and it's the skipper, Creevy who dives over for the first points of the game. Just way too powerful. Blues looked no chance of stopping that.
13mins: Petti wins it and they drive once again. They're making good progress and would you believe it, the Blues collapse it again. Card coming? Yes it is, Akira Ioane gets 10 minutes in the bin. Time for another lineout and drive.
11mins: Blues sack the Jags maul and their penalised. Malileo the guilty party. We'll have another lineout just inside the Blues 22m. Expect another drive. They do and the Blues are penalised immediately. They went early. What's that you ask? Another lineout.
9mins: The Jags are going backwards so Sanchez puts the bomb up and Boffelli does brillantly to go up and get it. They lose it backwards and Pryor kicks it through but the Jags do well to get and clean up before winning the penalty after Parsons is pinged at the breakdown.
7mins: Sanchez puts a deft kick over the top of the Blues defence and it skids into touch around their 10m. Goodhue wins the lineout but Rieko Ioane knocks on straight after and the Jags look to counter.
5mins: Blues win the free-kick from the scrum and take the quick tap. The bust through the Jags defence down the left wing and are up to the 22m. They're keeping it tight, taking it up through the middle but they knock on.
3mins: Sanchez shows the ball and almost goes clean through. They're keeping it tight and the Blues do well to hold Creevy up and force the turnover. They'll have a scrum just outside their own 22m.
1mins: Sanchez gets us underway and the Blues immediately drop it, but luckily it goes backwards and Perofeta clears up over the 10m.
7:34pm: The Jaguares have made their way out and now Parsons leads out the Blues. It's pretty gloomy out there but should be an entertaining game regardless. Moments way from kick-off.
7:30pm: The Blues backline is well, it's Ioane, Duffie and not a whole lot else. And they're not up against mugs. The Jaguares boast some quality players with international experience.
7:22pm: Pretty horrid conditions out there. Both teams will have to play smart. Be interesting to see how the visitors adapt to it. They sure love to throw the ball around.
