The Chiefs took an early lead through the boot of Marty McKenzie. Captain Brad Weber scored a converted try after being set up by Atu Moli for a 10-0 lead. A Curwin Bosch penalty closed the gap to seven points. Hyron Andrews crossed over for a converted try to level matters.

The hosts once again took the lead a few moments later with a Mitch Karpik try. Bosch kicked a penalty just before half time to take the score to 17-13 at the break.

The Sharks scored first in the second half through Ruan Botha to take a 20-17 lead. It was followed by another Bosch penalty kick to take the lead to six points with 17 minutes to go. Two late tries by the Sharks’ Anton Lienert-Brown with just 12 minutes to go and Webber’s second try of the day saw the Chiefs edge back in front.
