Is it? We have 6 or 7 great payers, but 3 of them are no.10s and none of them are defenders, and none of them play on the left.
We have more than 6 or 7, but even if we only had 6 or 7, we should still be doing far better. Most other sides will barely have 4.
As for no great defenders, Walker’s been one of the best RBs in Europe for the best part of a decade and Stones walks into 90% of the back lines in this tournament.

It's not just about the back 4.
