The unbeaten Waikato Chiefs overcame a nine-point deficit at halftime to beat the Wellington Hurricanes 33-17 on Saturday and reclaim top spot in Super Rugby Pacific.
That remained the score at the interval before momentum swung in favour of the visitors, who played with more control and scored three unanswered tries. The Chiefs' slow start included conceding the game's first five penalties, although they did cross first through outside centre Daniel Rona before the Hurricanes responded through tries to flanker Devon Sanders and Roigard.
