History of the Blues
Over the years, some of world rugby’s greatest stars have played for the Blues. In fact, almost 100 Blues players have been capped internationally by New Zealand. This includes household names such as Sonny Bill Williams, Jonah Lomu and Keven Mealamu.
Today, the Blues squad isn’t as strong as it once was. However, several All Blacks players still regularly play for the Blues, including captain Patrick Tuipulotu, prop Ofa Tu'ungafasi and centre Rieko Ioane.
