It's not every week that the stadium hosts a Super Rugby match, so it was nice of the Chiefs and Crusaders to give the packed crowd plenty of entertainment on Saturday night. After a 10-try shootout it was the Chiefs who came away with the spoils, claiming a remarkable 40-27 win. The Chiefs were falling off tackles, failing to plug holes in their line and being run over by the Crusaders. Not to be outdone, the Crusaders defensive line showed they too were capable of leaking points as the Chiefs took advantage of uncharacteristically sloppy tackling and fissures in the Crusaders' defence. Chiefs halfback Brad Weber did well to fight through the defence to give his team a sniff, and from there it was one-way traffic as the Chiefs ran riot over the shell-shocked Crusaders.
