Springboks back on top after record All Blacks rout

September 14, 2025

A dominant South Africa inflicted a record defeat on New Zealand yesterday, powering to a 43-10 win in a complete performance to reclaim the No.1 world ranking.

The Springboks avenged last week’s 24-17 loss to the All Blacks in Auckland in momentous style, leaving the home side badly humbled and the Rugby Championship finely balanced with two rounds remaining.

All four teams now have identical 2-2 win-loss records in the Championship with Australia, who earlier lost 28-26 to Argentina in Sydney, one bonus point ahead of the Springboks and All Blacks.

South Africa scored six tries to one, with two by wing Cheslin Kolbe, to answer critics who had suggested the 2019 and 2023 world champions were past their peak.

They were physically dominant from the outset, closing down the All Blacks with some brutal defence, while their forwards took charge of both scrums and lineouts.
