[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 1000430, member: 72520"] I’d actually expect fitness levels to be very high. The players have had a good few months of not being able to do anything other than run and lift, and haven’t had to worry about fitting in enough rest to keep their body’s in good enough knick for matchday. That’s why we’ve seen so many players coming out with gym PBs and why not too long ago NZ players were breaking bronco records. With that said, I’m expecting quite a few teams to switch to 6/2 bench split for the rest of the season given the short turnaround between games. The bigger forwards will be the ones struggling most fitness wise and will also be the ones hitting much more contacts than usual, so I imagine teams will be wanting to only give 45-50 minutes Per game to as many of them as possible.
