So what’s our best front row

We got absolutely no change out of the Irish scrum until we switched out Malherbe and Kitshoff. After that, even if the ref made some dubious calls, we were clearly dominant.

Is that enough to give up other areas where the starters were better? Don’t know. But for a while now the guys on the bench today have been our best scrummagers.

Frans Malherbe hasn't scrummed well for some time, and he is nowhere outside the scrum. Koch looks like the form-tighthead. 

Ox seems to be getting back into his best form. 

Marx was poor by his own standards today. Although he was the best SA player in the 4 nations. 

Ignorance is bliss...
