The Springboks produced one of their all-time greatest performances to smash their bitter rivals by a record 28 points. It was not only the Springboks’ biggest win over the All Blacks, but also New Zealand’s heaviest defeat in Test match history.
It was fast, it was ferocious and it was brutal from the Springboks and the selection of photos below best illustrate that outright dominance.
