    Any karma was for the whinging to WR after Italy made them look stupid for not knowing the ruck laws.

        "Admittedly there were many elements for the referee, Jerome Garces, to look at in an instant, which makes his job very difficult. But there was nothing clear and obvious to deny that try. The ruck, unlike the controversial Owen Farrell tackle the week before, was not 50-50. It was not even 80-20. It was 100 per cent onside."

          Never believe a man who is named after a car.

          Maybe this should be in the bogan thread? 😉

                Good to see Healey living what he preaches when he asks for consistency.

                He was a cock as a player and he's still a cock as a commentator.

                  If he is searching for answers it is there in his own words when he admits that the English only played well for 20 minutes. I quite liked the Austin Healey as a car and well restored ones fetch good prices these days.

                    That's why I read The guardian and not the Tory graph. Another so called expert still judging from the rules of his era.

                    That, and the paywall.

                      its weird , they talk about ending myths and auras , but by doing that , they are acknowledging , in their minds the myths and auras exist ,

                      No need to be afraid of the bogey man if you dont believe he exists

                        It pleases me that these cretins control rugby and refs do what we tell them to. That must be a great mindset to go into a game with.

                                  Guscott and Healey would have to be the laziest and least interesting ex-player columnists. Just phone-it-in levels of effort. End up with cliches.

                                    According to the Tom Fordyce of the BBC, Aura has been "clipped away" after defeat in Dublin.

                                    Perhaps she enjoyed the local Guinness and hospitality a bit too much?

                                      Fordyce is correct. She had hair below her shoulders when I saw her at Twickenham last week.

                                        Read knows Aura and her buddy Mana are still attractive to young All Blacks ...

                                        "The pressures of social media is real, that is another part of this whole puzzle you have got to grasp with these guys. It can be tough but it is also pretty rewarding because you can see what it means to them all and in terms of the black jersey, it hasn't lost any of its aura and mana. Everyone is playing for the right reasons."

                                          A big win against a side that holds a Tier One status it scarcely deserves is not reason to shout from the rooftops that the All Blacks are back in rugby paradise with a restored aura of infallibility.
