Springboks upset All Blacks

The

Springboks upset 36-34 win over the world champion All Blacks was rated “awesome” but “lucky” by the South Africans as they tempered celebrations in Wellington yesterday.

South Africa’s first win in New Zealand since 2009 left the home side to chalk up their first Rugby Championship loss in three years.

It also snapped the visitors’ six-match losing streak to the All Blacks dating back to 2014. New Zealand outscored the Springboks six tries to five. (AFP)
