[QUOTE="Feicarsinn, post: 322798, member: 22777"] I think you're forgetting Jeremy Staunton and Paddy Wallace! Sexton is a very good player and in my humble opinion, our best option at ten. He offers more of a running threat than O'Gara and is more solid in defence. In a game in which we may struggle to gain primary possession these skills may be vital. There's no point kicking the ball away and handing possession back to Maori. Our linout isn't strong enough to compete with enough frequency to play a territory dominated game so the best bet is to keep it in hand and run at the Maori with the likes of Sexton, Murphy, Wallace and Trimble deep and hitting the line with pace. While our backrow is small, it's very quick which should aid the kind of game we want to play. We'll do ok. [/QUOTE]
