New Zealand 21-11 South Africa

New Zealand's unbeaten run continued as they beat South Africa 21-11 in Denedin this afternoon.

The All Blacks are fortunate to have come away with four points as the Springboks missed seven out of nine attempts at goal.

Keiran Reid's delicate offload set Israel Dagg away for New Zealand's opening try, after Morne Steyn had given South Africa an early 3-0 lead.

A chip and claim over the All Blacks defence sent Bryan Habana through to regain the lead for the Boks.

At eight all, Aaron Smith grabbed a second try for the All Blacks, dummying and running in from 25 metres out.

Aaron Cruden won the battle of the kickers, slotting a pair of penalties to secure the victory for the All Blacks.
