Australia's destiny in own hands
Australian go head-to head with South Africa at the Under-20 World Cup, with first place in Pool B and a semifinal berth up for grabs.
Australia is currently second to South Africa in the pool standings on points difference, despite both sides securing two bonus-point wins.
The winner of each of the three pools automatically qualifies for the semifinals, with the next highest place team earning the final position in the top four.
"South Africa will represent our biggest challenge to date at the World Cup and we are looking forward to the clash," Australian U20 coach Adrian Thompson said.
"This match is crucial for us in terms of making the semifinals and although we have had strong periods in our two matches to date, we know we will need to come up with a committed 80 minute performance to beat South Africa."
