The Chiefs have ended the Hurricanes Super Rugby playoff hopes while keeping their own slim chances alive with a 24-16 win last night.
Tries from forwards Jamie Mackintosh and Brodie Retallick sealed the defending champions.
The Chiefs rise to seventh on the overall ladder, level on 40 points with the Brumbies who sit sixth.
The Hurricanes have 41 points, but a bye next weekend could see them pushed outside the playoff zone.
Meanwhile, the Lions picked up their sixth win with a 34-17 win over the Rebels this morning.
In today’s matches, the Crusaders will take on the Blues at 7.35pm while the Reds will play the Force at 9.40pm.
