What Los Pumas need to be champions of the Rugby Championship

For the first time in its history, the Argentine Rugby Team has a mathematical chance of winning the title. What should happen?

For the first time in its history, The Cougars has a mathematical chance of becoming the champion of Rugby Championship. This is the most equal edition of all, because, although the Albiceleste added 9 points (-27 goal difference) and this last, the other rivals are close: New Zealand leads with 14 (+41), followed by Australia with 10 (-26) and finally South Africa with 9 (12).

For this reason, the possibilities of the set of Michael Sheika is still standing. What should happen?

First, they have to win the games against South Africa, next Saturday as a local and the other as a visitor. In addition, you must earn bonus points in both games to add to those eight units. If they achieve this, they will add 19 points and will have to wait Australia beat the All Blacksbecause otherwise, if the men in black win they can celebrate in front of their crowd.

Another possibility is a draw between Argentina or South Africa and the All Blacks. In this case, on Saturday there should also be a winner who also adds bonus points. So New Zealand and the Cougars (or the Springboks) they will reach the final date with the same points and it will be a surprising sense where the goal difference will come into play.

However, the important thing to remember is that Argentina is one draw away from establishing its best performance, surpassed in 2018which he has surpassed in number because that time he got 8 points and now he has 9.

The illusion persists because the players of Albiceleste they are very strong mentally and have great self-esteem. Also, since the coach arrived, Michael Sheikathere was growth in the game, tactics and discipline.
