Rugby/Championship. New Zealand crushes Australia to win the 2022 Rugby Championship
it’s done ! After his card against Australia (40-14) during the sixth and final day of the Rugby Championship on Saturday in Auckland, and despite South Africa’s victory in Durban over Argentina (38-21), New Zealand won the 2022 Rugby Championship.
The offensive bonus obtained against the Wallabies will have made the difference for the All Blacks, in a distance duel with the Springboks.
They not only had to win the offensive bonus against Argentina but also push their opponents to over 39 points in hopes of overtaking the New Zealanders on the wire thanks to their overall goals rate. A very ambitious goal for South Africa, who let the trophy slip away.
In addition to the title, this big victory – the third in a row in the Rugby Championship – provides a little air for Ian Foster, a New Zealand coach who has challenged up and down, with six defeats in his last 11 matches.
