The Blues will be looking to claim only their fourth win of the season when they play host to the Rebels on Saturday the 2nd of June.
Saturday's Super Rugby action gets underway with an early morning clash between the Blues and the Rebels. Both sides will be desperate to grab the win here as it would be the Blues first victory on home soil for the season, while a win for the Rebels would see them put some real pressure on the Waratahs, who take on the Reds later in the day.

Blues
Tana Umaga will be hoping his chargers can build on their gutsy Round 14 defeat to the Crusaders when the Rebels come to town. The former All Black has recently been backed by the Auckland Rugby bosses to turn things around but he will need his side to produce more than a 24-32 defeat to the Crusaders to convince the Auckland public that the Blues are on the up and up.
The Blues will take a lot of positives from the defeat to their local rivals, and if they play in a similar vein they should have no trouble putting the Rebels to bed here. In fact, if the Blues midfield clicks, then we could be in for a similar scoreline to the game contested between these sides last year which saw the Blues run out 18-56 victors
Rebels
The men from Melbourne enjoyed a solid Round 15 as they beat a second-strength Sunwolves side 40-13. The result ensured the Rebels moved within one point of Australian Conference toppers, the Waratahs.
Things will be a lot tougher for the Rebels this week as they are taking on a Blues side that's desperate to bag their first win on home soil this season. The visitors are yet to win at Eden Park losing on three occasions they've travelled there. They have managed to go down fighting, however, losing their last two games in Auckland by six points or less.
Verdict: Blues (-7.5) 9/10
I think the Blues are going to end their losing streak at Eden Park in style this weekend. Young Stephen Perofeta has finally settled into the ten role and is starting to put his outside backs into space with more regularity. The Rebels are going to struggle to contain the likes of Rieko Ioane and Sonny-Bill Williams if Perofeta continues to deliver quality ball.
