Super Rugby: Blues surprise while Chiefs defeated

The Blues have grabbed victory at the death.

First-five Otere Black has kicked an 81st minute penalty to give the Blues a 23-21 win over the Bulls in Pretoria.

Just minutes earlier it appeared Auckland side was set for heartbreak after the Bulls scored to take the lead with six minutes remaining.

Stephen Perofeta, Mark Telea and Tom Robinson all crossed for tries.

The Chiefs, meanwhile, crashed back down to earth.

A home crowd was no advantage as they suffered a 26-14 loss to the Brumbies in Hamilton, in what's their first defeat in the 2020 Super Rugby season.

Matters made worse with more injury woes for All Black Luke Jacobson.

He managed just 11 minutes in his return from ongoing concussion issues after pulling his hamstring.

It’s the first time the Brumbies have won in Hamilton since 2007.

And it was a convincing win for the Crusaders in Christchurch.

The hosts beat the Highlanders 33-13 in their Super Rugby clash at AMI Stadium.

David Havili was last to score a try for the Crusaders in the 74th minute with Mitchell Drummond making the conversion.

The Hurricanes had a bye weekend.
