KINGS 29 JAGUARES 22
Late tries from fullback Dewald Human and winger Wandie Mjekevu turned the tide in favour of the Kings as they defeated the ill-disciplined Jaguares for a second win of the season.
The visitors received two red cards in the first half as lock Tomas Lavanini and prop Ramiro Herrera were penalised for overly robust play. They finished the game with 12 men after a yellow card for flanker Tomas Lezana.
Despite their numerical disadvantage, the Jaguares led 22-10 with 10 minutes remaining, but ran out of legs and defenders as the Kings took revenge for a 73-27 loss in Buenos Aires last month.
WARATAHS 45 CHIEFS 25
Tries from Andrew Kellaway, Michael Hooper and Israel Folau within a space of little over 10 minutes in the second half propelled the Waratahs to a surprise 45-25 victory over the Chiefs in Sydney on Friday.
Hooper and Folau also scored first half tries, while Jack Dempsey put the game beyond doubt with three minutes remaining. Bernard Foley added 15 points with the boot.
Seta Tamanivalu, Aaron Cruden, Nathan Harris and Toni Pulu scored tries for the Chiefs, who were unable to convert a wealth of field position and possession against the Sydney-based side.
HURRICANES 27 HIGHLANDERS 20
Ardie Savea broke through three tackles to score his second try of the game in the final minute that gave the Hurricanes a much needed victory over the Highlanders on Friday.
Fellow loose forward Brad Shields also scored a try, while flyhalf Beauden Barrett added two penalties and three conversions for the home side, who moved ahead of the Highlanders on the points table.
Lima Sopoaga and Dan Lienert-Brown scored tries for the 2015 champions, which Sopoaga converted while the flyhalf and his replacement Marty Banks both slotted penalties.
