Cape Town - The defending champion Chiefs have crashed to a second successive defeat, this time against the Waratahs in Sydney on Friday.
The Waratahs won 25-20 after leading 15-0 at half-time.
The Waratahs scored three tries through wing Cam Crawford, fullback Israel Folau and replacement hooker John Ulugia. Scrumhalf Brendan McKibbin added two conversions and two penalties.
The Chiefs replied with tries by replacement fullback Gareth Anscombe and prop Ben Tameifuna. Anscombe was also on target with both conversions and two penalties for a personal haul of 15 points.
The Waratahs picked up four points for their victory, but stayed third in the Australian Conference. They did however move up to sixth in the Overall log.
The Chiefs had to be content with a single point for losing by seven or fewer points. That point was enough to move them back to the top of the New Zealand Conference and second in the Overall standings.
In next weekend's Round 11 action, the Chiefs host the Sharks in Hamilton (Saturday, April 27 at 09:35) while the Waratahs travel to Pretoria to face the Bulls (Saturday, April 27 at 17:05).
