New Zealand are on course to retain the Rugby Championship trophy after making an explosive start in their 35-20 win over South Africa in Auckland on Saturday. ECRSport Springboks
Two months before the Rugby World Cup kicks off, the All Blacks grabbed early tries by Aaron Smith and Shannon Frizell to dominate early on.
"We're pleased to see improvement from last week, but we know we've still got a way to go from where we want to be," he said. Jordan again made inroads up the middle before sending the ball wide where Frizzell bulldozed over South Africa full-back Willie le Roux to cross for their second try. Springboks captain Eben Etzebeth, who played despite the death of his father earlier in the week, was held up just before the whistle.
After All Blacks prop Tamaiti Williams came on for his debut, Kolbe dived over in the corner for South Africa's second try inside eight minutes.
