    Agreed. They can lie down or bend over.

    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.

    Jack Tunney  /  Nov 12  /  Internationals

    Brian O'Driscoll: Don't worry about what the Springboks are doing

    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.

    There's that saying "Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics".

    Aura spawned herself in the 70% amateur era.

    2025 is currently running at 82%.

    We're 100% in our last 4 games ...

    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:

    Rugby League: League breaks union's power

    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.*
