Summary Wellington Hurricanes beat Waikato Chiefs 28-25 in Super 15 rugby on Friday.
Hooker Dane Coles scored a try in the fourth minute of stoppage time to give the Wellington Hurricanes a 28-25 win over the Waikato Chiefs in Super 15 rugby on Friday, keeping Wellingtons frail playoff hopes alive for at least another day.The television match official took several minutes and reviewed a succession of replays before deciding Coles grounded the ball over the tryline in the 84th minute, giving the Hurricanes a thrilling come-from-behind win.The win lifted the Hurricanes from eighth to fifth place at the start of the final round, leaving their playoff aspirations at the mercy of other results as the round unfolds.The Chiefs took a bonus point to clinch a top-two finish but are in danger of conceding first place to the Cape Town-based Stormers who play the Melbourne Rebels on Saturday.
