Need to use our bench far better than we have.Our opponents seem to outlast us at the backend of games.
Well indeed. From what I can see we didn’t even use Okunbor at all yesterday. Amazing!
During H1/ last 10 min & H2 / first 20min, the extra pair of fresh legs might have proved handy to help spread fatigue a little more.
Otherwise I’d agree, we seemed to fade more in last 15min v Tigers under same conditions.
After that major energy sapping effort in 35-38C heat yesterday, it will take a few days for the boys to physically & mentally recover, including a flight to NZ late in the week, for next weeks away Warriors match.
Tough call to back up in NZ next week. Managing bench rotations will be even more critical. Some added speed injected @ critical times off the bench will be a major benefit (KO?)
