Sadly she didn’t make an appearance tonight.

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

Aura/belief is why ABs were only one point behind having played 59 minutes with 14 men.

It was a superhuman effort

Boks RWC record is great, but nothing has changed from back in 07 when they had two wins to our one - I'd still rather our head to head with them.

[canefan]

But the superior RWC would be nice too....

I guess it’s one way to overcome the mental hurdle of QF anguish.

She's aliiive!

Verified sighting by English journalist:

@Machpants said in All Blacks 2024 - looking forward:

England won't be scared of aura

But even if England were to fall to a 2-0 series defeat, it would not have been due to them fearing the All Blacks’ aura.

[Machpants]

Still ticking, if you ask if they have lost their aura, then you know they haven't, despite foodies best efforts

[Machpants]

Still going baby

Above all, though, it is simply that their old aura is slowly being chipped away in a modern world where, as one All Black assistant coach conceded, there is almost nothing new under the tactical sun.

"the aura and the respect that we have for them is as high as it has ever been"...
So "Grewcock and Shaw"* high?

(*yup sounds like a Guy Richie movie title).

[Victor Meldrew]

Still here, but being chipped away apparently.

I see England played in white at the Euros today to steal a bit of aura off the
All Whites. And it worked for them. Absolutely shameless.

[Machpants]

I hope squidge is right, aura come back from the (allegedly) dead is on!
