All Blacks clinched the inaugural Rugby Championship title with a 54-15 win over Argentina in La Plata today.
The All Blacks produced their best performance of the year to demolish the Pumas, scoring seven-tries including a hat-trick for Cory Jane and two for his fellow wing Julian Savea.
Centre Ma’a Nonu and scrum-half Aaron Smith also got their names on the scorecard.
The result sees the All Blacks extend their winning streak to 15 games ahead of next weekend’s showdown with the springboks in Johannesburg.
Meanwhile, South Africa bounced back from consecutive defeats with a comprehensive 31-8 victory over Australia this morning.
Heyneke Meyer’s men secured a full house of points after the break as Byran Habana bagged a hat-trick to add to earlier scores from Zane Kirchner and Francois Louw.
