    I genuinely think this is the best thread on the Fern - great mix of sarcasm, irony and links to WTAF? articles.

    In other words, it has a aura of its own

    Sounds like someone needs to catch up on some Ranfurly Shield action.

      However, you only had to look at their reaction after they ousted Ireland in the quarterfinals to recognise this - the All Blacks’ aura isn’t what it was and the players know it.

        @booboo

        This tournament was just a few subjective refereeing decisions away from New Zealand, South Africa and Australia all being eliminated before the semis.

        Can anyone help me with the one that saw NZ scrape through?

              Can only be the quarter final. Things like porter being penalised, I guess

                      Aura has been found. Work underway to claim her back.

                        You definitely know Aura is back when UK sports hacks write this sort of stuff...

                        "Time, perhaps, for the All Blacks’ aura of self-righteousness to be punctured. So much of it is corporate grandstanding, not least the “rainbow streak” commercial they released in 2018 to coincide with Tokyo Pride Week."

                                      I disagree. There were brief flashes. She's a sleeping giant right now. I'm hoping Razor can properly wake her up

                                        All jokes aside, when it comes to world cups, the Springboks rightly have a claim on the aura.

                                          @MajorRage without meaning to sound churlish I think the Boks have Lady Luck in their pocket rather than aura.

                                          Not their fault but
                                          1995 - France semi AB's sickness
                                          2007 - Didn't face decent opposition all tournament. The closest they got was a poor England in pool play and again in the Final
                                          2023 - Fair play France, England, NZ in the knockout is some run, but they did enjoy more than their fair share of luck.
