HIGHLIGHTS-Super Rugby week 10

Highlights from Super Rugby week 10 games: SUNWOLVES 23 HURRICANES 29

Wes Goosen scored a 68th-minute try as the Hurricanes battled back from a 13-point halftime deficit and kept the Sunwolves scoreless in the second spell to record victory despite a scrappy performance in Tokyo on Friday. TJ Perenara, Ben Lam, and Chase Tiatia also scored tries for the visitors, who rested three All Blacks for the clash in Tokyo and found the home side's frenetic style of play difficult to counteract.

The Hurricanes were also guilty of far too many missed tackles, turnovers, errors and indiscretions, but managed to finally exert some control in the second half. Semisi Masirewa scored two tries for the home side, while flyhalf Hayden Parker converted both tries and slotted three penalties to build a 23-10 lead by halftime but they were unable to add to their score in the second half.

Captain Warren Whiteley underlined his influence and importance to the Lions as he returned from a long-term injury to lead his side to victory over a fast-finishing Chiefs in Hamilton. Whiteley had missed the last six games due to a muscle tear in his chest and the Lions have not looked like the same side that have made the last three Super Rugby finals.

Carlu Sadie and winger Aphiwe Dyantyi scored tries for the Lions, who managed to snuff out any late comeback from the home side when Elton Jantjies slotted a 79th-minute drop goal. Winger Sean Wainui, prop Nepo Laulala and replacement Tumua Manu all scored tries in the final 20 minutes for the Chiefs, who only came alive in the final quarter after a 30-metre burst by scrumhalf Neil Weber had set up Wainui's try.
