Just a passing thought...but we seem to be off the pace this year in terms of our power and conditioning. I've also seen a lot less of Don Singe on the website and social media - he's usually a go-to man for comment about the team, injuries, performance on the training ground etc.
Could this be related to our on-field troubles? We're looking tired, not getting up in defence, not bending the line in attack. No metres from dummy half or general forwards rolling up the ruck. In short, we look a bit weak.
We used to come out of the off-season absolutely firing. 2013 for example we were piling into tackles in threes and fours over the first month, compared to what we have now.
