The Chiefs smashed the Sharks 37-6 in the 2012 Super Rugby final held at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton to win their first ever Super Rugby title.

The Sharks scored the first points of the match but aside from the early lead the Chiefs dominated the match and were deserved winners of their title.

Super Rugby's new Champions the Chiefs outscored the Sharks by four tries to nil but the final was won by the Chiefs impeccable defense.

The result means that the Sharks have now gone four games in a row without scoring a try against the Chiefs.

The Chiefs, with only a handful of experienced players in their squad, were largely written off at the start of the season but proved the pundits wrong by winning the New Zealand conference and finishing second on the table.
