If there was ever a time for Tana Umaga to deliver some long overdue joy to supporters of the Blues then it should be tonight.
His team has nothing left to lose at Brookvale Oval, a famous Sydney NRL ground. The Blues have banked two wins from nine games in yet another dreadful Super Rugby season.
They are playing in Sydney against a team dealing with their own demons. The Australian sides have a forlorn record against New Zealand teams and the Waratahs, tonight's opposition, start the game after a fair old hammering at the hands of a South African outfit.
The Sydney team has been distracted by Israel Folau's unpleasant social media burblings and the unruly nightclub antics of one of their other stars.
So Umaga's Blues have been handed a gold-plated chance to show some steel and put an end to weeks of misery.
