By somehow pipping the Chiefs 12-11, the Durban outfit earned a precious third win in six Super Rugby attempts this year to stay in reasonable contention for the playoffs: had they instead lost again their chances would have receded greatly, especially as their ever-testing four-match overseas challenge still lies somewhere on the horizon.
