Reds 10-12 Chiefs

The Chiefs secured a spot in the final four with a thrilling 12-10 win over the Reds.

Queensland started strongly with a try to damaging centre Samu Kerevi. Shaun Stevenson responded for the Chiefs, but the Reds kept their noses in front with a spectacular try to Kerevi on half time.

Ill-discipline cost the Reds in the second half with yellow cards to Taniela Tupou and Leroy Houston, and the extra man advantage helped the Chiefs find the match winner as Stevenson bagged his second right under posts.

"I'm proud of the boys' efforts," reds player Sam Talaki said.

"Everyone has stuck it out today [Sunday] in the Queensland heat and we wanted to make an impression to our fans about how hard we're going to play and I think we did that today."

For the Chiefs:

Crusaders 12-7 Wild Knights

The Crusaders juggernaut has rolled into the semifinals after beating the Wild Knights 12-7.

The Crusaders looked every bit the heavyweights we've come to know dominating possession and territory in the opening half and it translated to the scoreboard with tries to George bridge and Seta Tamanivalu.

But foul play threatened to derail their dominant performance as Digby Ioane and Tamanivalu were shown yellow cards either side of half-time.

That opened the door for the Wild Knights to demonstrate some of the spirited rugby that has thrilled fans over the past two days.

The Crusaders showed how much this tournament means to them as they scrambled and tackled to a stand still to keep their winbing advantage.

Wild Knights captain, Daniel Heenan, bagged a consolation try on full time to capped a wonderful individual weekend for himself and although the Wild Knights were knocked out, they have been big winners with the Brisbane 10s fans.

For the Crusaders:

Tries: Bridge, Tamanivalu

Con: McKenzie

For the Wild Knights:

Con: Barnes

Bulls 17-12 ForceBRISBANE 10S: Bulls and Chiefs meet again

The Bulls have continued their dream run by defeating the Force 17-12 to progress to the semifinals.

The Force looked like they were going through to the final four when they skipped out to a 12-0 lead via tries to Chance Peni and Alex Newsome.

But the half-time break gave the Bulls the breather they needed, running in 17 unanswered points to knock the last Aussie side out of the competition.

Warwick Gelant continued his stellar weekend bagging another try which was followed by a five-pointer to Tian Schoeman.

Francois Brummer dotted down in the corner shortly after to complete the victory.

Highlanders 5-7 Hurricanes

The Hurricanes have won arguably the most thrilling game of the day with a come-from-behind 7-5 victory over the Highlanders to book their place in the semifinals.

Both teams played territorial rugby, turning each other around with tactical kicking.

It paid dividends for the Highlanders in the end when they stole a line-out inside the Canes' 22-metre zone, allowing Adrian Smith to win a foot race to the corner, giving his side a 5-0 half-time lead.

The tense arm wrestle continued in the second half and as the match wore on, Hurricanes started to get on top.

They finally crossed the line with a try in the corner to Ricky Riccitelli, with just over a minute to go.

Jordie Barrett proved he's a superstar in his own right with a clutch kick from the sideline to snatch victory at the death.

"He's class," Nehe Milner-Skudder, Hurricanes, said on Barrett's sideline conversion.

"[It] must be something in that Barrett blood, I think."

Scorers:

For the Hurricanes:

Try: Riccitelli

Con: Barrett

For the Highlanders:

Try: Smith
