Because the win of the Springboks was by more than 15 points - the situation is a bt sour when it comes to New Zealand:-
1 Ireland - 90.04
2 France - 89.41
3 South Africa - 89,41
4 England - 86,25
5 New Zealand - 86.13
The number 2 and 3 teams are level on points and the Irish lead is miniscule. A Springbok win over NZ will put SA back on Top of the rankings.
