That leaves us slightly short at CB, as you have Gillesphey/Bell and Bree effectively covering 2 positions.
Gillesphey and Bell LCB Burke and Jones CCB Ramsay and Bree RCB even Edwards can do a job should be fine
But one of Gillesphey and Bell is also the left wing back cover, and one of Ramsay and Bree is also the right wing back cover.
Well yeah but unless you lose a CB and a WB at exactly the same time there's plenty of options to mix and match it up. There's also the option of playing someone like Rankin-Costello at WB in an absolute pinch.
We might end up with a bit of a makeshift defence once or twice but it would take some extremely bad luck for us to be badly affected for an extended period.

Lloyd Jones and Ramsey have both had spells injured in both of the last two years iirc. Burke is clearly very injury prone.

Were Jones and Ramsay out injured at the same time?

They missed 6 games together last season. For us to not be able to put out a good back 5 we would need at least 5 injuries in the back line due to the versatility and depth we have. What are the chances that we suffer 5 defensive injuries all at the same time which is just not going to happen.
