The Chiefs hammered the Crusaders 40-16 in their Super Rugby clash last night.
The Chiefs scored through Sonny Bill Williams, Augustine Pulu, Charlie Ngatai, Tom Marshall and James Lowe while the Crusaders only try came from half back Andy Ellis.
The biggest concern for Chiefs coach Dave Rennie was how serious the injury to key lock Brodie Retallick would prove to be.
The World Rugby Player of the Year retired in the first half with a shoulder problem after being gang‑tackled by Wyatt Crockett and Matt Todd.
In other matches, Fiji born Tevita Kuridrani scored a try to help the Brumbies beat the Rebels 20-15, Bulls beat the Sharks 43‑35 while the Stormers beat the Lions 22-19.
