"All Blacks leave it late at Twickenham but watching world will take note of their diminished air of invincibility"
I didn't realize invincibility was a broad spectrum.
But technically speaking, the ABs might have looked vincible but weren't vincibled. Today.

The Torygraph commentary on the Ireland game

Just getting g round to watching ABXV v Georgia.

Richard Cockrill in IV before the game when asked if they prepare differently than for any other team.

"... can't worry about any aura they may have ... "

Aura still intact enough that the NH include wins over the ABs when rating a players career alongside 6 Nations trophies etc - Cian Healy tying with Coulda Doid for the most capped Irish player.

According to the BBC Andy Farrell has "such an aura". Is the same as our aura or a different one? Has our aura been whoring out again?

@Bones is it too late to get the Aura back from Farrell or is she rooted beyond all recognition now?

Probably can close this thread now, it’s gone.

This nine and a half year old thread has always been a myth….

Seems an appropriate commentary on the state of the ABs' aura, especially as fhe author turned out to be as much of a fraud as our current coach.
