Springbok head coach Jacques Nienaber said on Thursday his side needed a favour from Australia to pull off a surprise Rugby Championship title. | Sport24news
South Africa tackle Argentina on 29 July in a final-round match after suffering a 35-20 mauling in New Zealand at the weekend that severely hurt the Springboks' chances of lifting the trophy.
New Zealand have nine points in a competition reduced to a single round before the World Cup, South Africa have five, Argentina four and Australia one. Nienaber said South Africa's defeat to the All Blacks will not affect the team's plans for the game against Argentina, which is likely to decide who finishes runners-up.
The Springboks are set to defend their World Cup title in France later this year, starting with a match against Scotland in Marseille on 10 September.
