We can get 2 backs in but no forwards...
These things go in cycles, because academies focus on the pipeline they expect to need to replace or supplement senior players. In the past we've had the likes of Marler, Sinckler, Buchanan, Matthews, Merrick, Dino, Baby Chis and Clifford in the U20s - but presumably we had fewer slots for forwards immediately after them, and our next generation of forwards are a couple of years behind.
