New Zealand's captain, Ardie Savea, affirmed that the All Blacks were undeterred by their upcoming matches against South Africa, focusing solely on avenging last week's unexpected loss to Argentina. The teams met in Auckland on Saturday, resulting in a resounding 42-10 victory for the home side.

Scott Robertson's squad dominated the game, pushing their unbeaten streak at Eden Park to 50 matches. This sets up highly-anticipated fixtures against the Springboks on August 31 and September 7. Robertson emphasized the importance of maintaining focus. "We did a job. Now, we have a few days at home to recover and then regroup for Africa," he said.

The win places the All Blacks back on track after a shaky start in the Rugby Championship. Will Jordan scored two tries, and Damian McKenzie contributed 17 points, underlining the team's resilience. Robertson praised the team's first-half performance but expressed a desire to sustain that level throughout the game. "I'm really proud that we showed what we're all about," he stated.
