The Blues outlasted a determined Western Force side 32–42 in a fast-paced nine-try clash in Perth, overturning a narrow halftime deficit to secure their first win of the Super Rugby Pacific season.
Despite another standout performance from tireless flanker Carlo Tizzano, whose late first-half try briefly gave the Force momentum, the visitors dominated after the break with four second-half tries to extend their long winning streak over the Perth side.
The defeat leaves the Force rooted to the bottom of the ladder after back-to-back home losses, while the Blues showed composure and attacking depth to close out the contest and build confidence heading into their upcoming road fixtures.
