MELBOURNE (Reuters) - A Rugby Championship that fizzled out a week early delivered a late dividend on Saturday with a pair of stunning comebacks that restored pride in New Zealand and brought a sliver of hope to Michael Cheika's Wallabies a year out from the World Cup.

Having sewn up their third successive title against Argentina last week, there was little on the line for the All Blacks at Loftus Versfeld, barring a chance to avenge their shock loss to South Africa in Wellington.
