The masterful All Blacks scored a record nine tries to none from the Springboks for a sixth bonus-point win out of six games in the southern hemisphere tournament, which rugby's world champion and top-ranked team had already won with rounds to spare. These All Blacks have a chance to own the record outright in Australia in two weeks. Once the All Blacks got into their stride, South Africa could barely get the ball off them and couldn't stop them. South Africa isn't the only team to find the All Blacks on another level over the last five years, but this performance underlined more than most the gap between the All Blacks and the rest. Playing South Africa in South Africa, the team New Zealand considers its biggest rival, was meant to be a stern test for coach Steve Hansen's World Cup winners.
