Will Connie and Co get pulverized this weekend?  
Coenie Oosthuizen- Jekyll and Hyde at scrum time. Either the worst tighthead scrummager in world rugby or is actually sufficient. His return to form in open play. has been good.  
Trevor Nyakane- Probably the best bench option as he has solid experience at both loosehead and tighthead. I don't remember ever seeing total disasters at scrum time with Nykana at loosehead or tighthead. 
Beast Mtawarira- the best scrummaging loosehead. His work rate outside of the scrum has diminished over the years. Although the unfit Kitshoff is offering little outside of the scrums.  
Kitshoff- needs to up his game. He does not look fit. Has his time in France made him unfit like so many before him?  
A Kitshoff and Coenie combination could be a disaster if the Beast is injured.

 Kitsie will be fine. We need a better starting 3 though, especially against Argie.

Coenie has been good this year off the bench. He will always be better as an impact player, where he can use his open field play.  Starting with him is very risky. I would have preferred  Nykana as a safer bet.

I bet the SA scrumming will be totally inadequate.

Coenie is not test match material ... especially not on the tighthead side.

He hinges and scrums inward when under a little pressure. Selecting him for his work in  the tight loose isn't worth it.   

He's just one of many very poor selections from Quota Outa.

He shouldn't be allowed near any South African team.

 Malherbe is little better, a candidate for a penalty in almost every scrum with his 'laid out' position.
