to me it feels more like a commercial stage show than the challenge it used to be. It's the microphones, and the "ooh which one will they do" followed by "oh it's the old one, they don't respect you bro" and the legislated allowable responses. It's a sideshow, play the bloody game.
And it's lead by a bloody half back.
Note: the advantage shit is absolute horseshit though.
How the F would you know, you haven;t watched it in ages.
I bugger off for the anthems and come back for the haka. I missed the haka in 1994 vs the French at Eden Park because my mate and I got lost driving to the ground, and the girls we asked for directions were pretty so we dropped them off where they were going first and then went to the game, made our seats just as the haka ended. We lost to the try from the end of the world. I'm not risking missing the haka again.

We don't put those microphones there. World rugby loves the haka for the commercial aspect
yeah, i am sure the NZRU and AIG hate it, and wouldn't have a bar of it if it wasn't for WR
The mics or the haka?
the mics
That's show business
totally, and i get that. But now it is basically a marketing tool, hasn't it lost its meaning?

The deeper we go into the tourney, the more Aura grows

The aura is so strong that Jamie Joseph and Tony Brown have rubbed some of it off on Japan.
I hope watching Ireland get smacked made the Irish Haka-moaning idiot really f**king miserable.

Not for the players. I think its always been a marketing tool. Since the Buck days I think it means more now to the players than before. It was probably regarded as a cute novelty back in the 70s and earlier. A relic from the colonies
@canefan said in Aura watch:

It was really important in the '60's and before away from NZ from what I've read. Terry McLean's book on the '63-64 tour mentions the haka practices and the importance to the team.
Faded in the 70's and we ended up with the embarrassing disco "haka".

Don't you think Hansens' been looking hard at Ireland since they beat us last year and it looked possible we'd run into them at the RWC. Going to be tasty I reckon

I think we will smoke them. Not even slightly concerned that we will come second.

Didn't mean to quote @Hooroo -- pushed the wrong replyquote button thingy in a hurry.
The Aura clearly still operating at peak performance

I feel sorry for the Irish having to stand there and get cold and intimidated. Maybe Bundee can initiate a response haka.

Is Stuart Barnes the fattest ever test level first five?
Andrew Mehrtens in his fat f*** period is definitely worth an honourable mention.

Aura alive and well in Camp Canada
"They are the ones that the movies are made about, that you see on TV, so there is a bit of an aura around them," Campbell said
Great attitude to take into a test, honoured to be smashed by the ABs!

A bit of a weird one isn't it, but if I could play tennis with Federer I would. Be lucky to win a point, but I'd still want to do it.

aaand we are all dumber, thanks to that.
Guy makes a joke, not a good joke, but a joke, about something that doesn't affect him. hur hur nice one Gary. It's not even a bad joke, i bet there are a lot of people who think it's a bit funny while facing it.
And BANG! The twitter mob is mobilised. And along predictable lines. Defense first from some. Claims of "white supremacy" and colonialism.
Gary apologies and deletes. Once again the mob was right.
And John fucking Campbell is given a platform to try and appear the tolerant one. FMD

No one has to like Walkers Crisps. No one has to like the haka. Over-reaction to Linekar's tweet (a harmless attempt at humour) is ridiculous.

The funny part is him agreeing with Piers Morgan over Linekers comment.
But English whiteness as normative whatever that’s supposed to mean .
