The Springboks added to the All Blacks' misery with a convincing 26-10 victory in Mbombela that pushed New Zealand down to an all-time low of fifth in the world.
The world champions lost scrum-half Faf de Klerk after just 43 seconds after the 30-year-old's head collided with Caleb Clarke's knee while making a tackle. However, Jacques Nienaber's side recovered from that early setback to put in a dominant performance as they dismantled the All Blacks - consigning the defending champions to a fifth defeat in six matches.
It took just eight minutes for the Boks to cross the whitewash, with Kurt-Lee Arendse racing over after a perfect offload from Lukhanyo Am.
