Kiwis crush Springboks
PRETORIA, July 19: New Zealand confirmed their status as World Cup favourites on Saturday with a record-breaking 52-16 win over South Africa in the Tri-nations championship.
The All Blacks scored seven sweetly executed tries against a team who upset World Cup champions Australia in the opening round last weekend.
