[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 904653, member: 58362"] If it was fatigue, you'd expect all teams to suffer similarly. England are many things, but noticeably less fit than their opponents is not one of them. My best guess would be that English players are for the most part rugby automatons who have been told exactly what to do since early academy days, so aren't equipped to think for themselves. This manifested itself back in 2007 when Ashton tried to get them to play heads up rugby, I don't see what has changed in the intervening 11 years. [/QUOTE]
