Wellington - The All Blacks' record loss to South Africa was blasted by New Zealand media and commentators on Sunday, with former captain Kieran Read asserting rugby's most famous team lacked a "spine".
Scrutiny on coach Scott Robertson and his team was intense following their late capitulation in Saturday's 43-10 Rugby Championship Test in Wellington.
It was the heaviest defeat in all of New Zealand's 658 Tests and prompted Read to condemn a lack of fight when the Springboks ran in four of their six tries in the final 18 minutes.
"You've got to look at this All Blacks side and go, okay, there's something not right there," Read told Sky Sport.
