[skywalker]

The final 20 minutes of the match saw the Chiefs throw everything at the Western Force, including a drop goal from second five-eighth Callum Bruce, to be leading 21 to 19 with two minutes to go.

However, a last minute penalty kick, secured by Western Force's Matt Giteau, stripped the Chiefs of victory.

The Chiefs earned one bonus point from this match. They now head to South Africa where they will take on the Lions and Sharks respectively.
