Cape Town - The Chiefs have beaten the Sharks in a scrappy Vodacom Super Rugby clash in Hamilton on Friday.

The Chiefs won 15-9 after the Sharks led 6-3 at half-time.

In a tryless match, the Chiefs kicked five penalties through fullback Tim Nanai-Williams (1) and replacement flyhalf Mike Delany (4).

The Sharks replied with three penalties by flyhalf Patrick Lambie.

The Chiefs picked up four points for their victory, but remain bottom of the New Zealand Conference. They do however move up to 10th overall.

The Sharks picked up a bonus point for losing by seven or fewer points, and extended their lead atop both the SA Conference and overall logs.

In next weekend's Round 6 action, the Chiefs host the Blues in Hamilton, while the Sharks travel to Twickenham in London to play the Crusaders.
