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.

The win for the Chiefs leaves them just one point outside the playoffs with five rounds left.
