Laravel POST request gives me a 404

I'm currently writing an API in Laravel, and I've hit a bit of a snag. At the moment I'm focussed on the Authentication part of my api, so I have the following routes:

(Via php artisan route:list)

+--------+--------+------------------------+------+--------------------------------------------------------+------------+
| Domain | Method | URI                    | Name | Action                                                 | Middleware |
+--------+--------+------------------------+------+--------------------------------------------------------+------------+
|        | POST   | v1/users/auth/login    |      | App\Http\Controllers\User\AuthController@login         | api        |
|        | POST   | v1/users/auth/register |      | App\Http\Controllers\User\AuthController@register      | api        |
+--------+--------+------------------------+------+--------------------------------------------------------+------------+

Very simple. Now, when I try to post to v1/users/auth/login through Postman, it works. It gives me the expected responses and everything. However, when I try the register route, Laravel throws up a 404?

No errors, no nothing, just a 404. Now through some caveman debugging I can see that it passes through the authorize() method of the request, but then it throws that darn error again.

This is my request:

class RegistrationRequest extends FormRequest
{
    /**
     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function authorize()
    {
        return !Auth::check();
    }

    /**
     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'code' => 'required',
            'username' => 'required|unique:users',
            'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:6',
        ];
    }

   public function persist() 
   {
      $user = User::create([
            'username' => $this->username,
            'password' => password_hash($this->password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT),
            'reg_ip' => $this->ip(),
            'last_ip' => $this->ip()
        ]);
       return response()->json($user->api_token, 201);
   }

How how is that possible, as my route is cleary defined?

Thanks.

-- EDIT:

my controller:

class AuthController extends Controller
{
    public function register(RegistrationRequest $request)
    {
        return $request->persist();
    }

    public function login(LoginRequest $request)
    {
        return $request->persist();
    }
}
