I do think it's really important that at least one of our full backs plays an attacking role.
As experienced as Ald is, I do wonder if perhaps we should trial Tanganga Dier Sanchez as the 3CBs. Tanganga and Sanchez both have pace, and Dier is quite good on the ball.

It's ok for us to have an attacking FB. It's not ok for us to fail to react to that tactic by having the FB stay further back to cut out that option. If we had better FB balance, we could have switched and given the LB license to roam forward- it's not like James was gonna burst down the line with pace and burn us for having our LB be too far forward. Or, if both stay back because they've pushed forward on both flanks, now we're setup for the counter since they've over-committed in attack.
