The Blues have kicked off their gruelling Super Rugby preseason at an Auckland beach and have some unique photos to prove it.
The squad tackled a lung-busting sand dune run at Kariotahi Beach near Waiuku on the west coast.
The training session had players on their hands and knees but there was also a moment to smile about with the squad photobombing a wedding photo shoot on the beach.
Players and staff were happy to surround the couple for a few photos before resuming their run along the black sand beach.
