Not every reason is an excuse. But it is likely not the only reason indeed. However,

I did find the Birmingham game interesting - the way they approached the game really made me feel they'd heard all the public stories about our players not being fit enough, and obviously are aware that we usually start brightly and then tail off in the second half, whether that be to do with the opposition changing to become more aggressive in their attacking, fitness, or a combination of both, and that they'd decided to just come at us hell and leather from the off. Then if it is the adjustment to a less cautious approach that kills us they'd kill us immediately, and if it was the fitness then we'd be extra knackered come second half.

In my opinion, it was the former that was shown to be our biggest problem. And therefore I expect all teams to be at our throats from the first minute from now on.
