New Zealand captain Ardie Savea stated that the All Blacks' focus remained unwavering despite their upcoming Rugby Championship matches against South Africa, aiming to avenge last week's unexpected defeat to Argentina. On Saturday, Scott Robertson's side delivered a formidable performance, securing a 42-10 victory against Argentina in Auckland. This triumph marked the All Blacks' 50th consecutive win at their Eden Park stronghold and set the stage for crucial clashes with the Springboks on Aug. 31 and Sept. 7.

"We know how tough it is to go to South Africa, but we wanted to focus on this week, tonight," stated the All Blacks' forward. "We did a job. We've got a few days at home to recover, refresh, put some money in the bank and then come together and go to Africa."

The South Africans currently lead the Rugby Championship standings by five points, having secured comprehensive back-to-back victories over Australia. The All Blacks, however, needed to rebound following a lackluster start against the Pumas. Will Jordan's two tries and Damian McKenzie's addition of 17 points facilitated New Zealand's comfortable win in the bad weather conditions of Auckland, getting their campaign back on track.
