Los Pumas established their legitimacy by taking the Saffers to within an inch of a loss earlier this year.
A victory against Los Wallabies is not needed for the legitimacy of either the competition or Los Pumas.

Whilst that is true, not winning a game for 3 years in the competition does put some doubt about whether they belong.
Do the Italians belong in the 6N then?
You should check their record again.
Won 2 matches in 2013 and 1 in 2012.
Yeah but the whole point is about belonging. Italy belong in the 6N, they've won games. They've beaten France and Ireland recently. They win occasionally against Scotland.
Argentina currently do not belong but have proven their worth. They just need that maiden victory desperately.
Just for kicks. If SA lose >7 and don't score 4 tries we need to win by 58 (minus however much SA lose by over 7) to come 2nd. Not that hard.
No, in the tri nations we could always manage a podium finish.I think more Australians should take what I'll term the Scottish approach to the Pumas' involvement in our annual international rugby tournament.
Their involvement means the wooden spoon is that much harder to get
