MATCH REPORT - All Blacks massacre Boks in Albany
By Online Editors
The All Blacks destroyed the Springboks tonight at QBE Stadium in Albany, winning 57-0 in a very one-sided test.
The home side led 31-0 at halftime in a repeat of their demolition job of the Wallabies in Sydney in the first round of The Rugby Championship. Tries to Rieko Ioane, Nehe Milner-Skudder, Scott Barrett and Brodie Retallick shot the All Blacks to an insurmountable lead, with the Springboks guilty of glaring errors at lineout time.
Milner-Skudder's first half try was a particular highlight, with the winger collecting a behind the back pass from Beauden Barrett.
NMS bagged a double after halftime, which was followed by a try to Ofa Tu'ungafasi.
Lima Sopoaga dived over to bring up the half century in the 75 minute, then Codie Taylor followed him over the line, consigning the Springboks to their worst ever margin of defeat to the All Blacks.
MORE TO COME.

Wonderfully committed performance by the Highlanders, undone by scrum penalties. Last week they were justified, but this week a couple of those penalties should have gone the Landers’ way - once the Brumbies props saw which way the ref was going they started hinging and pulling the scrum down, but the ref just kept seeing the same picture.
