Yeah agree that's the best combo to combat Kitshoff (who will play close to the full 80). With Beast's retirement the SA prop stocks at 1 aren't as strong as they were (they're still stacked at tighthead though). If Kitshoff gets injured or misses the series it's a big loss to SA.
In general SA are pretty covered depth wise but 1, 8 and 10 the drop off from Kitshoff, Vermeulen and Pollard is huge.

He's also not the best scrummager and Kitshoff is the best loosehead in the world so you need a really solid 3.
