    "In a scathing attack, Campese told Stuff that the ‘arrogance’ of New Zealand Rugby had set the All Blacks up for a fall, and that new coach Ian Foster wasn’t the right man for the job."

    He might be right about that last bit.....

    Campo got something right!!! it finally happened! approximately 47,000 public utterances about rugby, and he finally nailed one

      So Campo is still alive?

      I don't know why they bothered to interview him again. Just use one of the previous quotes/sound bites about aura.

        According to Campo, Aura's gone:

        @sparky Not sure what Campo is smoking. It was the young guys who added some spark at the end. The same old regulars who started were the ones who were flat.

            It had aura in the headline. Good enough for me.

              All Blacks only have slightly more aura then your average rugby spectator.

              With both groups just being spectators at the games they attend with the minor difference being that security let the ABs to go on the field .... where they occasionally score tries off opposition mistakes.

                Apart from the stupid aura bit Campo is dead on so maybe wrong thread but:

                • NZR have been arrogant and have consistently f#%ked up big time from the coaching selections to the treatment of Aussie (who we need as much as they need us)

                • Foster is the wrong man for the job (hopefully get egg on my face for that comment)

                • The off-field shit affects the on-field performance

                  Every mention of the aura, even it’s death, only makes it stronger! It’s like ‘no such thing as bad advertising’

                    Least now we know why NZRU wouldn't allow Aussies more than three teams in any future Super Rugby Aotearoa. Guarantees us at least one semi-finalist 😉

                      The Aura is strong in young Caleb Clarke.

                        According to the signage at Eden Park Aura has chaged her name to Nura so she can hide in plain site.

                          Not direct Aura, but mentioned sideways. But it is a good point, mostly

                            @Machpants jesus that's a dumpster fire of a negative article.

                            If you make all your tackles, you'll probably win. FFS. His arguments don't stand up - we've lost to Ireland, Eng and SA recently, but only occasionally. The SA game in the RWC was a great example - both 2019 and 2015 I'd say. We got beaten up in the forwards, but did enough to win both times. It takes some magic, but That's. What. Really. Good. Teams. Do.

                            HE's also coneniently ignoring that missed tackles often happen because of the stretching and putting people into space... which pulls defenders around, etc.

                            I'm triggered. Muppet.

                                    That was an awful article. The level of rugby journalism has sunk a lot. I wish they could convert the in depth knowledge of the best analysts like on 1014 to written media for hardcore fans.
