Waikato Chiefs continued their 100 per cent start to the Super Rugby Pacifica season with a second-half rally to defeat in-form hosts Wellington Hurricanes 33-17 and claim a seventh successive victory on Saturday.
Flanker Devon Sanders and scrumhalf Cameron Roigard crossed for Hurricanes tries in the first half, following an opener from Chiefs centre Daniel Rona. "The Hurricanes have had a hell of a start and played some great footy, so we knew it was going to be an arm wrestle.""The first half was really good, we did the simple things well. I think the second half let us down. Back-to-back mistakes and you can't do that to a team like the Chiefs," he said.
The Brumbies were not at their best but completed a 43-28 victory over Fijian Drua in Canberra on Friday. Queensland Reds claimed a first win outside of Australia in four years as they defeated Moana Pasifika 40-28 in Apia.
