In Super Rugby, Hurricanes’ full-back Jordie Barrett’s penalty after the full time hooter landed the Hurricanes their first win in Hamilton since 2007 edging the Chiefs 27-24.

Efforts by the Chiefs and Fiji-born Pita Gus Sowakula were not enough to hold on to the 24-all just before full time as they record their second loss on home soil.

The Hurricanes had a healthy 14-10 lead at half time.
