The All Blacks jumped to the top of the Rugby Championship with a 29-15 win over South Africa in a physical and incident-packed Test in Auckland.<\/p>\n

The defending champions scored four tries to two against the competition\u2019s previous leaders, who lost hooker Bismarck du Plessis two minutes after half-time for his second yellow card.<\/p>\n

But the All Blacks themselves finished with just 13 players after skipper Kieran Read (tackling a player in the air) and inside centre Ma\u2019a Nonu (shoulder charge) were sinbinned in the last 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

Read, standing in as skipper for the injured Richie McCaw, had earlier grabbed two tries, while Nonu\u2019s deft kicking was responsible for the field position for two of the touchdowns.<\/p>\n

The result meant the All Blacks maintained their record of not having lost at Eden Park since 1994, and not against the Springboks at the ground since 1937<\/a>. \u2013 AAP<\/a><\/p>\n
