That's all folks

Benjamin Plummer

A night to forget for the All Blacks in Wellington, suffering their biggest ever defeat a week after seemingly righting the wrongs of a World Cup final heartbreak. 

It's back to the drawing board now ahead of their Bledisloe Cup series against the Wallabies in two week's time.

We'll be back tomorrow with more All Blacks content, so be sure to tune back in for that.

Until then, have a great Saturday night New Zealand.

Wallabies top the Rugby Championship table

Benjamin Plummer

With that loss, Australia have shot to the top of the Rugby Championship standings, sitting on 11 points with a one-point buffer.

The Springboks and All Blacks sit on 10 points, but South Africa's better point difference sees them sit in second.

Argentina is in fourth place on nine points.

Each team has two wins and two losses through the opening four rounds. It'll all come down to the last two rounds.

'No excuses' - Razor says Springboks dominated

Benjamin Plummer

All Blacks coach Scott Robertson told Sky Sport it was "definitely [a game of] two halves".

"No excuses from us, they were just that good tonight."

Robertson said the Springboks dominated the battle in the air as well as set piece all night.

"The game just swung pretty quickly and they were hissing, weren't they?"

He said their goal coming in to the test was hoisting the Freedom Cup and getting ahead in the Rugby Championship.

"We've got to be really extremely honest with each other, no excuses."

'Tough one to swallow' - Scott Barrett

Benjamin Plummer

Speaking to Sky Sport after the game, All Blacks captain Scott Barrett said the historic loss was a "tough one to swallow".

"The Springboks certainly showed up and took a real improvement from last week and we certainly didn't adjust."

Barrett said the All Blacks' scrum was under pressure and they had limited opportunities throughout the match.

"Certainly gutted we couldn't get the job done tonight."

Barrett said there would be plenty of work-ons before the All Blacks return to Eden Park to face the Wallabies in two week's time.

All you need to know

The All Blacks and Springboks go at it again a week after a tight affair at Eden Park. South Africa haven’t visited Wellington since 2019, when they claimed a late draw.

A year earlier, they beat the All Blacks at the Cake Tin for the first time.

So it’s been more than 10 years since the All Blacks have had a win over the Boks in the capital.

Beauden Barrett and Patrick Tuipulotu came off the bench on that day in 2014, while Eben Etzebeth and Handre Pollard started for the Boks.

All Blacks v South Africa – last time they met in Wellington

2019, All Blacks 16 Springboks 16

The Springboks again spoiled the All Blacks’ party in Wellington with a dramatic converted try in the final seconds, following their upset victory 12 months earlier.

The All Blacks had seemed set to sneak home after Richie Mo’unga’s two second-half penalties added to their slim halftime lead, but the Boks shared the spoils thanks to halfback Herschel Jantjies’ try confirmed by the television match official.

It was an extremely disappointing way for the All Blacks to finish a test they appeared in control of after some early difficulties. And it came at a big cost; lock Brodie Retallick left the field after 60 minutes with a dislocation of an arm – joint unspecified – which made him a serious concern for the All Black coaches ahead of the World Cup.

The Boks defended superbly, apart from a slip just before halftime and the All Blacks discovered new ways to drop the ball almost by the minute.
