The All Blacks have overcome their first major hurdle at the Rugby World Cup, beating South Africa 23-13 in Yokohama on Saturday night to make a winning start to their title defence. It wasn't a complete performance from the defending champs but there was plenty for the coaches to be happy about as they push towards an unprecedented third straight crown.
