[QUOTE="nadoss, post: 430073, member: 42174"] O'Gara's backup is O'Connor, if O'Gara gets hurt, O'Connor shifts over to flyhalf and one of the wings comes in from the bench. The starting XV could also feature D'arcy instead of Tuilagi for a bit of stability at 12, and Williams could come out for Fitzgerald, who is always solid. One could also consider playing O'Connor at 10 from the start and bring in some of the good offensive wing options, like Fitz and Ngwenya... I think Reddan is a good old-school scrum half, and obviously can't be too bad considering that he's part of the championship team of Europe. I think the strength of the Desperadoes lies in the match ups, they could play a few different styles of game and have a few drastically different looks at the start of the game. If there's a good coach who's scouted his opponents well, he could use the Desperadoes to craft a well chosen lineup. I consider the Desperadoes to be an extremely conservative team defensively that will be sure to make a safe tackle all the time and then challenge at the breakdown, rather than challenge in the back line. I'd consider them to be middle of the table but I think they could win or lose any game they play. I think they could beat either Massey team, but they could also lose to the worst team at any moment as well... [/QUOTE]
