Proud Scotsman Brendan Laney reportedly finds Aura being lost ...
About 8min10s into Saturday 8/11/2025 08:30am on ZB
To be fair Scotland, having obviously realised they lead 4-3 in World Cups, seem to have moved on from Kiwis and gone for South Africans. Innovative forward thinking
Kilted Saffas lacks the alliteration though.

Tartan Tongans ?
Aren't the Tongans/Australians actually more Scottish than the majority of the Saffas?
What does one call Tongans/Australians?
Taussies?
Not to their faces, I imagine. -

As bad as we feel we are, Aura is still living rent free in a lot of countries' heads
in fairness, it takes a few years to go from 'poor' to losing the aura. Hopefully we can sort out talent development/identification/selection and really get back to dominating world rugby. I have faith (or hope)!

Apparently been hanging with the Undead in Ireland.
Brian O'Driscoll: Don't worry about what the Springboks are doing
"We need to cut ourselves a little bit of slack"
Ireland have struggled to regain their aura of world dominance since being dumped from the quarter finals of the World Cup in 2023. Many of their top players have exited the international and club arena since their devastating loss to New Zealand, and as a result, their form has been inconsistent since.
