A dominant South Africa inflicted a record defeat on New Zealand on Sept 13, powering to a 43-10 win in a complete performance to reclaim rugby's No. 1 world ranking.

WELLINGTON - A dominant South Africa inflicted a record defeat on New Zealand on Sept 13, powering to a 43-10 win in a complete performance to reclaim rugby's 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 Rugby Championship with Australia, who earlier lost 28-26 to Argentina in Sydney, one bonus point ahead of the Springboks and All Blacks.
