The Blues dedicated their 24-12 Super Rugby Aotearoa victory over the Chiefs to slain police Constable Matthew Hunt who attended their match last weekend.
All Blacks star and new Blues signing Beauden Barrett paid an emotional tribute to Constable Hunt, 28, who was shot and killed while carrying out a
routine traffic stop in Auckland on Friday morning.
"It's absolutely tragic and condolences to his family," Barrett told Sky Sport. "We were aware he was at our game last week and he planned to come next week, so we wore the black armband for him," Barrett said.
"I want to thank all the brave policemen and women out there doing their best in the communities to look after us and keep us safe."
