"Cheslin Kolbe scored a brace of tries as a battered South Africa ran riot in a second half blitz to claim a record 43-10 win over New Zealand in Wellington on Saturday and throw the Rugby Championship wide open. Reeling from backline injuries in a chaotic second half, the Springboks trailed 10-0 after an early try to debutant Leroy Carter but scored 36 unanswered points in an extraordinary onslaught."
"Kolbe lit the spark with the Springboks' first try from an intercept, then grabbed another early in the second half. Damian Willemse, Kwagga Smith, RG Snyman and Andre Esterhuizen also crossed for the Springboks, who recorded their most dominant win over the All Blacks in over 100 years of matches."
