In a crossover episode between three Megafoon shows, Harry, Jan, Ari O'Hara and MV Welman worked through their preferred Springbok starting XV for Test 1 against the All Blacks — not predicting Rassie's hand, but arguing what they'd pick themselves. The consensus was remarkably tight in most positions: Willemse at fullback, Cheslin Kolbe on the wing, Ethan Hooker at 11 (edging out Curt Lee on aerial threat and the memory of Wellington), Jesse Kriel and Damian de Allende in midfield, and a loose trio of Siya Kolisi (fitness permitting), Pieter-Steph du Toit and Jasper Wiese. The sharpest disagreement was at 10: Harry and MV backed Marnie le Roux and Grant Williams to start, with Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Reinach finishing — Jan held out for Pollard on the bench over Feinberg, arguing Pollard remains the world's best closer and that Feinberg's error rate in the URC is a genuine risk in a tight series. The hosts also flagged South Africa's lineout continuity — or lack of it — as a potential vulnerability the All Blacks could target early, and were unanimous that the kicking contest (Bok KFC versus All Black CPR) would define the shape of the series.
