Yes, it would be nice to have a full squad from which to pick.
It'll never happen though.
But if you think it's bad at the Blues, you should come and see Teignmouth RFC!

In fairness you do expect rugby players to get a bit bashed about.
Is it bad there?

Yeah, the team that got slaughtered at St Austell on Saturday was missing six or seven blokes who normally would be First XV regulars. Another problem, of course, is that this is amateur rugby. If a player gets invited to a wedding or a stag weekend he just announces himself unavailable. If the scrum half is in the Royal Marines and the Queen dies, he gets called back to base ready to do necessary duties. Etc, etc, etc.

And of course your best players get nicked (sorry - "picked up") by nearby professional teams

Plus we've got three youngsters filling in the gaps who are in the Chiefs' Academy, and so if they're any good they probably won't be available to us next season.
