Waratahs v Force - 2 tired teams or tradition?

The Round 6 clash between the Force and the Waratahs was a close, low scoring, flat game.  The commentators put it down to tradition, with the last 4 of their games being decided by 5 points or less.

I know another tradition - the Waratahs fading anytime from half-way onwards in the season. Now since Coach McKenzie was the first coach to stifle that tradition after it held for over a decade, they do seem less prone. But I am not convinced it's gone away.

As for the Perth. I have said enough about that - they define fatigue, by their fades, low win rate, and exhausted faces.
