Lets consider a few things by looking at the immediate supprt enjoyed by the props. Kitshoff had Elstadt (interesting ploy this), Steenkamp and Fourie. Normally he would have Schalk, Etzebeth and Liebenberg - much stronger.
Malherbe had Fourie, Bekker and Kolisi. He could have Liebenberg, Bekker and Elstadt.
Conclusion - provided the absent players return to fitness the scrum will be fine. This 940 kg Beeno power pack (Vermuelen at 8) should start and knock the stuffing out of the opposition. Tweak it to have Fourie at 6 and Schalk at 7 if you want a faster loose trio.
Last point is Harris. This guy looks to me to be a better player than Cilliers. Time he got some game time. He can also cover both sides
