South Africa undone by blistering All Blacks start

New Zealand rode another blistering start to a 35-20 victory over South Africa at Auckland's Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday to place one hand on the Rugby Championship trophy.

Playing a high-octane brand of attacking rugby combined with immense physicality, the All Blacks scored early tries through Aaron Smith and Shannon Frizell before late scores from Will Jordan and Richie Mo'unga put a seal on the victory.

The world champions, starved of the ball and heavily penalised, looked shell-shocked by the early onslaught but recovered to score second-half tries through Malcolm Marx, Cheslin Kolbe and Kwagga Smith.

The victory made it two wins out of two in the truncated championship for the All Blacks after last week's 41-12 victory over Argentina.

"We have a lot of respect for South Africa and to put that scoreline on them … they turned it into a real arm-wrestle but I love the way we started, hung in there and then finished strong in the last quarter," New Zealand coach Ian Foster told Sky Sports.

"It's a great start for us this year, but it is just that (a start). We got a bit fidgety in the third quarter and went into our shell and they got back into it.

"But we then started to hold the ball well and make them make tackles, that tested their discipline."

The All Blacks shot out of the blocks and were rewarded in fifth minute when winger Jordan glided through the midfield and drew the last defender before releasing Smith to score.

Out-half Mo'unga pushed the lead out to 10-0 with a penalty and the home side were soon over again with Jordan playing a key role as flanker Frizell finished off a sublime move featuring a whirlwind of offloads.
