The summer sun is still beating down and the Cricket World Cup is yet to start, but last night the rugby pre-season started with a Super Rugby warm-up game between The Blues and Chiefs.

The game will be the first Super Rugby match for Northlander Matt Moulds, who signed with the Blues this season after an outstanding ITM Cup campaign for the Taniwha.

Full details and images from the match at Whangarei's Toll Stadium will be in the Northern Advocate tomorrow.
