I think one of the greatest myths of the modern game is matches "open up" in the 4th quarter, the opposite happens. Some statistics in Super Rugby this year, more points were scored in 52 1st halves compared to 38 2nd halves. I think as fatigue happens the attack suffers rather than the defence which is based around attitude, you'll make the tackle even if you're bloody tired because you know your team depends on it but you might be slower getting to the ruck if you're fatigued.
