New Zealand produced a vastly-improved performance as they put the Sharks to the sword in Durban in their second fixture of the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour.
The All Blacks had been scratchy in their opening clash with the Stormers in Cape Town on Friday, but re-found their cutting edge to surge away from their hosts in Durban in the second half. Dave Rennie had shuffled his side and looked to a number of combinations that had served the New Zealand coach well during the Nations Championship, and would have been pleased to see them impress again with Ruben Love and Jordie Barrett forming a potent partnership.
