New Zealand have all but won the 2016 Rugby Championship after beating South Africa 41-13 with a bonus point
The All Blacks scored 26 points in the second half for a comprehensive 41-13 victory over South Africa in Christchurch on Saturday.
Dane Coles made the final pass for tries to Israel Dagg, Julian Savea and Sam Whitelock, while Ben Smith, Ardie Savea and TJ Perenara also crossed to secure the bonus-point victory.
Beauden Barrett slotted four conversions and a penalty for the home side while Springboks winger Bryan Habana scored his 66th test try for the visitors.
New Zealand outscored South Africa by six tries to one in the match which means they have taken a bonus point from all four of their matches played this season.
The All Blacks are also the only unbeaten team in the Rugby Championship and have now won their last 15 matches.
The Rugby Championship takes a break next week and returns on October 1 when South Africa host Australia in Pretoria and New Zealand travel to Buenos Aires to play Argentina.
