Durban (South Africa) (AFP) - New Zealand thrashed South Africa 57-15 on Saturday in the Rugby Championship in Durban for a record-equalling 17th consecutive Test win.
After turning over only 12-9 ahead, the world champions made light of being without suspended scrum-half Aaron Smith after his Christchurch airport toilet tryst to score seven tries in the second half.
