In a late match at Melbourne, Australia, the host Rebels beat the Dunedin, New Zealand-based Highlanders 47-31. It was the Rebels’ fifth win in eight matches this season and the first time the team has won three consecutive matches since August 2020. Again at the start of the second half, the Chiefs looked more composed than the Hurricanes, advancing the ball well through one-off runners, occasionally using offloads to stretch the defense and with McKenzie kicking effectively.
