New Zealand consigned South Africa to their biggest ever home loss as they eased to a 57-15 win in Durban on Saturday.
The win sees the All Blacks equal the tier one record for 17 games unbeaten as they ran in nine tries against the Springboks.
It was just 12-9 to the Kiwis at half time but they pulled away in the second 40 with Israel Dagg, TJ Perenara and Beauden Barrett all finishing with braces of tries and Codie Taylor, Ben Smith and Liam Squire also crossing. Barrett, having an off-day with his goal-kicking but not his other play, landed three conversions before Lima Sopoaga took on the duties and scored three of his own.
The Boks finish the Rugby Championship with just two wins from six while New Zealand have racked up the perfect campaign with six wins from six complete with bonus points in each Test.
The All Blacks' preparations for this clash were undermined by an embarrassing revelation on Wednesday when scrum-half Aaron Smith was suspended for one Test and sent home from South Africa after admitting he joined a woman in a public toilet last month. Despite the distraction, the world champions produced a prolific attacking display and denied their opponents a try.
Morne Steyn kicked South Africa into a 6-0 lead with two early penalties but Dagg quickly hit back with a 22nd-minute try after being released by Jerome Kaino's superb pass.
Steyn soon kicked a third penalty only for Perenara, who was Smith's replacement at scrum-half, to score with the TMO confirming the grounding despite the ball bobbling around.
The All Blacks hit the accelerator in the 44th minute when Barrett's offload from the floor rewarded a period of pressure. Steyn kicked two more penalties either side of Barrett scoring his first by grounding after a charge-down.
Perenara then claimed his second, finishing after Barrett put Kieran Read into space, and Barrett did likewise under the posts with the TMO confirming there was no knock-on in the build-up.
With the Springboks' Lood de Jager sin-binned for a shoulder charge, Taylor was the man to emerge from under a rolling maul for the seventh try.
The All Blacks were rampant and Smith took Barrett's unselfish pop-pass to cross before Squires touched down in the corner following Barrett's break, with Taylor by that stage yellow-carded for a high tackle.
