Jamie George warns England not to sit back in awe at New Zealand’s aura
Agreed. They can lie down or bend over.

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.
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.

Aura AND Mystique hanging together.
She (via Rebecca Romijn) was my favourite X-men character.

It turns out Aura is also the name of a superhero alter-ego (Vasilis Pozio), albeit one with some mental illness issues.

There's something aligning here that I can't quite put my finger on.

Not that she helped,,,...at one stage, we had a 25% win ratio over 4 (I think) seasons and were regularly beaten by provincial sides. We even lost at Eden Park to England.

Well, I just found out today we lost our aura in 1992 when league took over:
In the last few years the perception of the game has changed radically in New Zealand, just as the All Blacks' aura of invincibility has dissipated.*
