Ireland are at 84.63, and SA at 83.63. SA need to beat teams above them to increase points, as even a win against France will be minor points.
While it is early days, I think the team is already capable of beating Scotland and Australia. 

 Aus maybe. We should be better, but those pesky Aussies tend to play well AND clever against us. Scotland is in the form of their lives. We will struggle to beat them methinks.

@Draad. We won't know about Scotland. Not playing them this year.

 That is embarrassing to see in black and white. I am glad that the

Springbok legends of the past (now spinning in their graves) are not here to see it.  

I guess we have to see the positive, we are above Wales.
