The Blues are flying high after coming up from behind to defeat the Waratahs 35-20 last weekend.  

There’s silverware on the line as they’re set to take on the Fijian Drua tonight, the teams competing for the Joeli Vidiri Memorial Trophy for the first time. 

Vidiri was a Fijian international who played for the Blues between 1996 and 2001, in which he scored 43 tries in 61 games for the franchise.   

Sam Darry is captaining the Blues tonight, and joined D’Arcy to preview the match.
