With new All Blacks coach Scott Robertson an interested onlooker, Blues stars Hoskins Sotutu and Stephen Perofeta have continued to push their claims for international call-ups with their early Super Rugby Pacific performances.

Powerhouse No.8 Sotutu was the obvious standout in his team’s performance over the Highlanders at Melbourne, demonstrating his unquestioned athleticism with a hattrick of tries in the 37-29 victory.

With the Blues trailling 15-8 early, Perofeta provided the gameturning moment just before halftime.
