Aura watch

2 × aura
2 x mystiquesStrange sport, rugby. Purveyors of its best brand and keepers of its finest exponents for years, the All Blacks have been able to bestride the global game’s landscape like rugby gods, shrouded in **mystique** and an **aura** of invincibility.Now the men in black appear to have lost a touch of their **aura**, and Eden Park’s reputation as a fortress will be a little less intimidating to this super confident pride of Lions.**Mystique** is definitely not lost. But it’s kind of like how the All Blacks are going into games not worried about the opposition, just going to pick their own team, play their own game and worry about themselves. That’s what we have been doing. -

Former Lions halfback Mike Phillips says the tourists are favourites for Saturday's decider and insists the "wounded" All Blacks can be steamrolled.
"But, for me, the Lions are the favourites. They have the momentum and belief - and these guys are 80 minutes from becoming legends."
-
Excellent work Booboo, great to see Aura coming back strong after the weekends loss. Mystique is a little more of an unknown but in combination with Aura that should be too much for the Lions to handle.

Crikey,
how many momentum's and beliefs does it take to equal the aura and mystique? And how do they compare to a pact?
I'm so lost in modern rugby

Interesting the Nh think this is the first time he has been under pressure, he is under pressure all the time ,
Every year we have must win games , part of being an ab coach and the winning expectation that comes with it , last one was Dublin . -
yep, Dublin last year, a couple of return matches with Aus after they beat us, 2015 RWC semi & final, pressure isnt new to these guys, well most of them anyway.

I'm drinking a bottle of wine and watching Pirates of the Caribbean with my boys, relaxed as fuck.
We'll win, and when we look objectively, it will be viewed as one of the best given the players available and the level of the opposition.

Am nervous as fuck ...
Crows conceded a goal just before the half time siren to put it within 3 ...
Pirates though ... excellent choice

For the first time in my life I have bet against the ABs as an emotional hedge. Sold the ABs points handicap @ +12.5. I feel dirty.

Oh shit, and now I've stumbled on Return of the King, where the tattered remnants of Middle Zealand defeat the hordes of white orcs on steroids; and beasts from both the bog and the pit.
Aaron Smith for MoTM. Closely followed by King Read
