I've said it before an I'll say it again - playing 60 minutes a man down is an uphill struggle worthy of the English rugby team. So it was always going to be that 7 would struggle against 6.
However, an outside observer looking at the talent on display in the team with the lesser numbers might have thought they had more than enough in the locker.
Andrew, Yusuf, John, and Joel (who swapped with Paul) are as much a natural unit as Penn and Teller; a horse and a carriage; or Fry & Laurie, and they were aided an abetted by David, who sliced open defences with the precision of a samurai sword, and Daniel, who won the ball with the dependable regularity of a metronome manufactured by Rolex.
But The Magnificent 7 were just that:
Martin = Charles Bronson
Ben = Steve McQueen
Adam = Robert Vaughn
Paul = Eli Wallach
Jason = James Coburn
Dan = Yul Brynner
and Danny was the one nobody has ever heard of!
The man of the match goes to: Steve McQueen.
