Waikato Chiefs coach Clayton McMillan says his team's difficulties in overcoming the Queensland Reds will ensure greater focus from his players as they move into next weekend's Super Rugby Pacific semi-finals.
The Chiefs will take on the ACT Brumbies after handing the Reds a 29-20 loss in Saturday's quarter-final in Hamilton when Pita Gus Sowakula's late try and the kicking of Damian McKenzie were the difference between the teams.
"If we'd won by 20 points, I think our week might have looked a bit different. This will just bring a bit of an edge and a realness around finals footy. The Chiefs had been expected to progress through to the semi-finals after finishing on top of the Super Rugby Pacific standings with only one defeat in 14 games.
