South Africa delivered a dominant performance on Saturday, overwhelming a short-handed Italy squad 66-7 in Nations Championship rugby action, according to the Associated Press via Yahoo Sports.

The Springboks, reigning world champions, scored nine tries at Juventus Stadium in Turin, converting every one as they ran away with the result. The lopsided scoreline came largely as expected given Italy's weakened lineup heading into the match.

The win continues South Africa's strong form on the international stage as the Nations Championship competition progresses.
