The All Blacks have won the Rugby Championship after a 38-27 victory over the Springboks in Johannesburg this morning.

The World Cup Champions scored five tries to four, including a double to Liam Messam and a try each from Ben Smith, Beauden Barrett and Kieran Read to retain the title.

Bryan Habana scored a double, while Willie le Roux and skipper Jean de Villiers also crossed for the Boks who put up a gallant fight throughout.

Both Liam Messam and Ben Franks were shown yellow cards for the All Blacks in the second half.

However, in a strange moment in the game, Dane Coles was on the field when Keven Mealamu was listed on the team sheet.

Referee Nigel Owens said it will be investigated after the match.

Meanwhile the Wallabies will take on Argentina at 10.40 this morning.
