Chiefs in final

FLYHALF Aaron Cruden scored a crucial intercept try and kicked four goals from five attempts as the defending champions Waikato Chiefs beat the Canterbury Crusaders 20-19 in Hamilton yesterday to win hosting rights for the Super Rugby final for the second straight year. Cruden pounced on a pass from Crusaders center Ryan Crotty in the 56th minute for a try that gave the Chiefs a 20-9 lead after they had trailed 3-9 at halftime. Winger Lelia Masaga scored an extraordinary solo try six minutes earlier to spark a run of points that propelled the Chiefs into the final against the winner of yesterday's second semifinal between South Africa's Bulls and the ACT Brumbies of Australia.
