Overview
- The Chiefs, who overpowered NSW on Saturday in Hamilton, won 42-14 to bank a bonus point in Super Rugby Pacific.
- A dominant scrum and hard carrying from the pack controlled field position and exposed the Waratahs up front.
- Kyren Taumoefolau scored two tries as the hosts punished handling errors and loose exits from NSW.
- Waratahs fullback Sid Harvey scored and kicked goals but made five turnovers days after signing a two-year extension.
- The defeat stretched NSW’s run to 11 straight losses in New Zealand, with no win in Hamilton since 2014, and they now have a bye before hosting Moana Pasifika.
