BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - New Zealand won their third straight Rugby Championship title on Saturday after two tries from winger Rieko Ioane helped them to a 35-17 victory over Argentina in Velez Sarsfield.

The bonus-point win clinched the title -- a 16th in the various versions of the southern hemisphere championship -- with a game to spare for the world champions in what was a scrappy but well-deserved victory.
