On the fitness issue, I don't think it is THE excuse for what we are seeing over the past few weeks. We should have won all 3 games quite comfortably if not for some very poor option taking and errors at times. Plus, Scotland played very well. Poor conditioning can contribute to poor decision making and execution, but I think the main roots of the problem are deeper and more complex.
But, if anyone doesn't think fitness among Aus Super Rugby teams and the Wallabies is not an issue that needs some serious attention, they are kidding themselves.
And some of the suggestions about "just take control of your diet" and "do another run" is great, if it was 1976.
I think the focus of rugby S&C in Australia has really lost its way over much of the past 5-6 years. If you look at the NZ model of training, it is very player specific and it is nothing like what most of us ever did training for rugby. I'd wager the work they do in the gym is quite different to that of most Aus players. The ability of all their players in collisions shows great core strength, and they keep the pace going all game.
So, Cheika and Moore probably have a point, but I really don't think it was the time to be raising it. That might have been months ago.
