The Waikato’s rivals are the Crusaders. The reason this is, is that when ever they

play each other it is always a tight match and they are both from New Zealand.

Their second rival is the Hurricanes. The reason is, is that they are both from

New Zealand and the Hurricanes always fight when the Chiefs beat them

They got to the final of the Super 14 cup where they were knocked out by the Bulls.
