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.

Twice in one day!

"I think the aura and the respect that we have for them is as high as it has ever been," George told BBC Sport.

"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!

[antipodean]

Shouldn't posting those videos be worthy of a ban?

While I think Squidge is overrated, I'd rather his videos than some random South African kid who was given a microphone for his birthday.

Like the rumble before an earthquake, you know Aura is due to re-appear when the haka articles start appearing in the British press.

We need to get this bloke into the coaching set-up ASAP.

Harry Jones finds Aura on X and The Roar

There is no All Blacks aura anymore and there hasn't been since the drawn Lions series in 2017. They are the fourth or fifth best international side in the world. No better than that.

Sadly, they've become one of the most overhyped sides in world sport obsessed with their past glories and without a record in recent times to justify the peacock shit.
