Pita Gus Sowakula scored a try as the Chiefs bounced into the top four on the Super Rugby Pacific ladder after holding on for a 27-25 nail-biting victory over the Reds in Brisbane.

A contentious 76th minute red card to replacement Samipeni Finau ensured some late drama at Suncorp Stadium, but the Chiefs managed to cling on for a win.

The sides were locked 13-all at the half-time break, before the Chiefs charged to the lead courtesy of multiple yellow cards to the hosts.

Meanwhile, the Blues have narrowly defeated the Force 22-18, despite not scoring after the 29th minute.

In-form winger Manasa Mataele scored the first try of the match for the Force.

The Blues move to first on the ladder and extend their unbeaten run to nine matches.
