After dominating an opening quarter in which their opponents conceded eight penalties, South Africa struck through skipper Siya Kolisi before Kurt Lee-Arendse picked off Jordie Barrett’s attempted offload 10 minutes later.
Jordie’s brother Scott saw the second of two yellow cards shortly before the break to reduce the All Blacks to 14 men, and Will Jordan had a try ruled out to keep the score at 14-0 at half-time.
It took Malcolm Marx 66 second half seconds to extend the lead after a lineout move followed Beauden Barrett’s poor crossfield kick, and Marx’s replacement Bongi Mbonambi took the lead out to a record margin.
Cam Roigard scored a stunning late consolation but Kwagga Smith’s earlier score meant the 28-point loss surpassed the two 21-point defeats New Zealand suffered to Australia in 1999 and 2018 as their biggest ever.
Roared on by a mostly South African crowd who gave Twickenham its best atmosphere in the post-Covid era, the Boks controlled the early stages with three New Zealand lineout infringements allow- ing them to set up camp deep in All Black territory.
