Fiji born players, Pita Gus Sowakula and Emoni Narawa scored a try each as the Chiefs hammered Moana Pasifika 59-12 in their Super Rugby Pacific match last night.

The Chiefs ran away with the match in the second half to record their third win in four games.

The Chiefs led 19-7 at half time.

Jonah Lowe touched down for the Chiefs shortly after the break to extend the lead, before a flurry of tries from Tupou Vaa'i, Pita Gus Sowakula, Brad Weber, Alex Nankivell and Tyrone Thompson blew out the scoreline.

Neria Foma'i and Joe Apikitoa both scored tries for Moana Pasifika, but the Super Rugby newcomers struggled with their discipline throughout, conceding 11 penalties and a yellow card.

Meanwhile, the Waratahs have won back-to-back matches for the first time in 19 months and consigned the Rebels to more Super Rugby Pacific misery with a 24-19 victory.
