To secure their position, The Pumas They need to beat the two-time world champions with bonus point, scoring at least four tries, and preventing South Africa get a defensive bonus point (losing by less than seven points).
If these conditions are met, both teams would be tied at 19 points, but Argentina would benefit in the tiebreaker from the result of the series, which would be 2-0 in their favor.
