So, each team has 2 remaining games. 

Oz vs ABS and ABS vs OZ 
Arg vs Boks and Boks vs Argentina

I don't see Australia beating the All Blacks twice, nor do I see Argentina beating the Boks twice.

Bonus points won't mean anything unless both the Boks and New Zealand lose next week. 
That is a distinct possibility as both teams are also away from home. 

Although if the Boks lose in Argentina, the All Blacks will almost certainly win the tournament. 

If the Boks win their 2 remaining games, they would most likely win the tournament. 

Australia should hopefully beat New Zealand in at least 1 of the 2 remaining tests.
Although after today's result against Argentina, suddenly the All Blacks are leading the table and looking very able to beat Australia in  Australia. 
Also, the return of Retallick has brought more muscle and mongrel to the tight 5. 

Boks now go to Argentina, then finishing with a home test against Argentina.
The next test will be key for the Boks.

The Bok test in Bargentina looms as a biggie…hopefully Harrassmiss stays in Pampoenfontein and doesn’t leap in front of the camera.

So Moz would you prefer the physio to be in charge? We need to win both Argie tests and we need Oz to somehow beat the AB’s which I can’t see happening

I only watched the highlights of the Boks v Oz game but Boks showed some very good ball handling in the backs and forwards and the new guy Moody looks like a real find. So the Boks could match up well with Pumas but IMO at least the first game will be close. I think the AB forwards will better the OZZies and our backs should be good enough to score points.  I'm picking ABs to win the 4 nations but with some excitement

Nah, no good handling JW... the game was a shit show... and the perfect blip to keep the Blocks puffed up heading into the world cup. When it ends in tears I'll be pissing myself laughing. All going along as I predicted. To the fucking T. Kiwis just clicked with the passes and this has been brewing for a while. The Blocks were wide fucking open for an 8 try bitchslap in both tests. Argies just the unlucky fucks who received it. In the end... ref power is the difference in the Block game. It wad a fucking boring low quality game. Aussies barely allowed to do fuck all without a whistle or the fucking slobs flobbing all over the breakdown like a big dutch cunt's belly falling through his shirt.

............... So South Africa and New Zealand are now tied, but New Zealand has a Points scored/against difference of 13 over the Boks. 

This was reduced significantly after today's game, along with the Boks getting a bonus points victory. 

Next week, I expect the Boks to win with a bonus point.
New Zealand should win, and perhaps also get a bonus point. 

If both teams get bonus point victories, if the Bok makes up the 13 points for/against difference, the Boks could still win the tournament.
Otherwise, New Zealand wins

Argentina look certain to finish last, with Australia in third.
