The Reds bid to break Australian rugby's Super finals quest fell flat with Damien McKenzie's leading the Chiefs to a 46-24 win

Damian McKenzie has become the Chiefs' highest try scorer in his side's demolision of Moana Pasifika 62-17 at Rotorua International Stadium.

The Chiefs jagged the first try of the night when Waratahs fullback Sid Harvey, a goalkicking hero in last week's 30-28 win over the Brumbies, was unable to clean up a probing Xavier Rie kick as winger Kyren Taumoefolau pounced to score. A Josh Jacomb penalty extended the lead to 8-0, before the Waratahs had their only joy of the opening half when Harvey fielded a 20-metre pass from Max Jorgensen to cross in the left corner. Two more strikes from hooker Samisoni Taukei'aho
