I like the word 'dishonest'.
It wasn't 'true' to the way we played earlier in the year...and the pronouncements by Voss of how we want to play and be percieved.
We were never as hard or committed as they were and they broke tackles easily.
In short, we didn't turn up to play and they set themselves.
Is it a perception of other teams that the 'pressure' is our Achilles heel.
The thing is I'd probably back us to win one of our last three if we set ourselves as they did.
Our opposition will no doubt start favourites...so there'll be no complacency on our part...and that's when we tend go OK.
