"Big rivalry game for us": Chiefs anticipate tough competition in Blues clash

Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan says they can't afford to take the Blues lightly in today’s Super Rugby Pacific qualifying final in Hamilton.  

The Chiefs beat the Blues twice this season, although their previous meeting was a one-point win. 

McMillan feels they can't read much into the Blues' recent form but acknowledges the threat of the defending champions. 

Tonight’s game is a rematch of last year’s final, in which the Blues claimed victory 41-10. 

Chiefs scrum-half Xavier Roe joined D’Arcy Waldegrave to preview the clash.
