(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – New Zealand won the Rugby Championship for the sixth time with a 35-17 win over Argentina in Buenos Aires.
Victory gave the All Blacks an unsurpassable seven-point lead over South Africa with one game to play.
A shock 36-34 win in Wellington this month had given South Africa hope that they could overtake New Zealand and win the competition for the first time.
But they failed to secure a bonus point in a 23-12 win over Australia in Port Elizabeth earlier on Saturday.
