Oz have the advantage over us in that they still have one against the Argies the weakest side in the comp.
We will end 3rd sadly.

If New Zealand beat Argentina they have basically allready won the tournament with 20 points. Their win/loss points difference is much higher than SA, and unless the Boks destroy Australia it is not likely to be challenged. The max the Boks can finish on is 20 points, 2 wins with bonus points 4 try wins.
If New Zealand beat Argentina and score 4 tries, they are on 21 points and this is an unassailable lead.
With almost all permutations, the only real chance the Boks have of winning is that Argentina beat the All Blacks, and the Boks beat the All Blacks in the next weeks match.

Thank goodness that some rugby officials had the foresight to include the Pumas in the championships otherwise you know who would be at rock bottom.
Yep "Victor's vets" aka "Meyers golden oldies"
