It was a win made all the sweeter by the challenges thrown at the visitors, who lost lock Lood de Jager, flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and fullback Aphelele Fassi in the first half to injuries

SOUTH AFRICA shrugged off a litany of injuries to humiliate New Zealand 43-10 in Wellington on Saturday, subjecting the All Blacks to their worst-ever test defeat in a Rugby Championship stunner.

With their backline in tatters and trailing 10-0 early after a try to debutant Leroy Carter, the Springboks scored 36 unanswered points in an extraordinary onslaught a week after falling 24-17 to the hosts at Eden Park.
