DUNEDIN (Reuters) - Waikato Chiefs fullback Damian McKenzie kicked a 45-metre penalty in extra time to secure a dramatic 26-23 victory at the Otago Highlanders in the first ever ‘golden point’ win in Super Rugby Aotearoa at the Forsyth Barr Stadium on Saturday.
McKenzie had missed a similar kick after the hooter in ordinary time on a poor night off the tee for both sides but came up trumps as the Chiefs moved to 12 points from five games, two behind the Auckland Blues in the second semi-final spot.
