WELLINGTON (Reuters) - The switch to fullback from flyhalf worked wonders for Damian McKenzie on Friday as he scored a try and added 13 points from the boot to help end the Waikato Chiefs' losing streak with a 23-23 draw with the Wellington Hurricanes in Hamilton.

McKenzie had struggled to impose himself in his three previous appearances and with the Chiefs mired in a run of four successive Super Rugby losses coach Colin Cooper decided to make a positional change.
