Waratahs kicker Peter Hewat landed only three of seven shots at goal although he equaled last season's scoring record of 173 points. Flyhalf David Hill kicked seven goals from seven attempts in his first start for the Chiefs this season to contribute 17 points.
"It was a very pleasing result for the guys," said Chiefs captain Jono Gibbes.
Blair's penalty with two minutes left gave the Highlanders their upset win over the Brumbies. Prop Carl Hayman scored a pair of tries for Otago.
