Black is back! After a clear success in Argentina (41-12), the New Zealanders continue their faultless Rugby Championship. They encountered a little more difficulty in defeating the South African world champions (35-20), Saturday July 15 in Auckland, while nevertheless giving off a clear impression of mastering their subject. Against the Springboks who had crushed Australia (43-12) on the first day of the tournament, the All Blacks got off to a perfect start, scoring two tries in quick succession, by Aaron Smith (7-0, 5th) and Shannon Frizell (17-0, 15th).
The vain revolt of the Springboks
Largely in the lead at the break (20-3), the New Zealanders then suffered the revolt of the Springboks, definitely revived, and authors of two essays by Malcolm Marx (20-10, 54th) and Cheslin Kolbe (23-15, 62nd). But the Blacks did not let themselves be dismantled, and scored two new tries to win with a comfortable lead and head for a new title in the competition, which they will have to validate on the last day, July 29. against the Australians in Melbourne.

The XV of France, which will play the opening match of “its” World Cup in less than two months against these same New Zealanders, has been warned: the All Blacks are back.
