There were a few surprises in Super Rugby round 11.
Catch up with all the results and highlights right here.
Hurricanes vs Sunwolves
Hurricanes inside centre Vince Aso has crossed for four tries but only had two count as they beat Japan's Sunwolves 43-15 in Wellington to move to the top of the Super Rugby standings.
Aso, who crossed in the 74th and 79th minutes on Friday, had two earlier tries ruled out by television match official Ben Skeen.
The first was chalked off for a marginal forward pass from Julian Savea and the second for a dangerous clear-out by Ardie Savea about 70m downfield.
Julian Savea, Finlay Christie, Reed Prinsep, Jordie Barrett and Brad Shields also scored for the home side, who moved to 32 points in the standings.
RESULT
Hurricanes 43
Tries: Aso 2, Savea, Christie, Prinsep, J Barrett, Shields
Cons: J Barrett 4
Sunwolves 15
Tries: Labuschagne, Fukuoka
Cons: Parker
Pens: Parker
Stormers vs Rebels
A malfunctioning scrum has sunk the Rebels in Cape Town, continuing their string of defeats on South African soil.
The Stormers have followed the march of the Lions this season in morphing their style of play into a more entertaining brand but against Melbourne it was good, old fashioned, South African bully ball.
It was far from flashy but it was mighty effective in the 34-18 win - the Melbourne scrum falling to pieces from the opening whistle until the 50th minute - at which point the result was all but sealed.

Reds vs Lions
The Reds have shocked the world on a sunny Saturday afternoon, upsetting the Lions with a titanic 27-22 win at Suncorp Stadium.
Queensland's first half had to be seen to be believed.
Having put three poor performances together on the trot, they looked a completely different side from the outset.

Blues vs Jaguares
Argentina's Jaguares have rallied from 13-5 down at halftime to beat the Blues 20-13 for their first Super Rugby win over a New Zealand team.
The Jaguares won on Saturday in Auckland with a forward performance which wrecked the Blues' scrum and damaged their lineout, allowing them to dominate territory and possession in a rain-soaked match.
They also received twice as many penalties as the undisciplined Blues but took time to turn all those advantages into a historic win.
RESULT
Blues 13
Tries: Manu, Duffie
Pens: Perofeta
Jaguares 20
Tries: Creevy, Boffelli, Lezana
Cons: Sanchez
Pens: Sanchez
Brumbies vs Crusaders
The Brumbies have failed to capitalise on an inordinate amount of second half territory, possession and a two man advantage, squandering several opportunities in a 21-8 loss to the Crusaders.
The difference between these two sides was not skill, nor set piece play.
It was game management and rugby smarts.

RESULT
Brumbies 8
Tries: Speight
Pens: Hawera
Crusaders 21
Tries: Bateman, Mataele 2
Cons: Delany 3
Bulls vs Highlanders
Five-eighth Lima Sopoaga kicked a last-minute penalty to hand the Highlanders a 29-28 victory over the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld and secure a sixth win in eight Super Rugby games this year.
His long-range penalty crept over for a dramatic last-gasp win in a game where the Highlanders were nine points ahead going into the last 20 minutes but had to come from behind in the closing stages to snatch victory.
Sopoaga did not miss with any of his kicks as he contributed 19 points.
RESULT
Bulls 28
Tries: Penalty, Pollard, Jenkins, Kriel
Cons: Pollard 3
Highlanders
Tries: A Smith, F Smith
Cons: Sopoaga 2
Pens: Sopoaga 5
