The Boks' bombastic build-up, Farrell's big selection calls, and how Ireland can win the first Test

James Tracy and Gavan Casey are joined by Murray Kinsella from Johannesburg as the Springboks continue to give it the big'ne ahead of the first Test at Loftus Versfeld.

The lads' discuss South Africa's strawman who has apparently been going around calling Ireland the best team in the world, Rassie Erasmus' mastery of both strategy and motivation, and the impressive South African 23 named on Tuesday to face Ireland.

Murray and JT give their thoughts on Andy Farrell's Irish selection ahead of the team naming on Friday, including a few prospective curveballs, the dilemma between "the small one from Munster" and Conor Murray at scrum-half, and where Robbie Henshaw fits into the equation while being one of the form players in the country at the moment.

They also try to figure out how Ireland can beat the best team in the world on their own patch, and where the latest law changes may play a role in Saturday's 'undisputed title fight.'
