That would be down to fitness
It could be down to a lot of things, but I don't think it was fitness because even at the start of games we weren't aggressive in defence.
We always had a well drilled, straight-as-f**k defensive line (except for Tahu sniping on the left), but it's easy to keep your line straight when you're moving slowly. However we did have a good defensive record last year partly because of the quality of defenders we had in our team and partly because of our defensive style.
But that style also had its downsides, which directly impacted our atack.
