      We've lost someone else now: Fear Factor.

      Is that Max Factor's sister btw? Maybe we'll get her back now that Ma'ascara is back in town ...

        @booboo so he is admitting that he feared us previously?

        The legacy you face is more intimidating than any opposition...

        At least we still got our legacy! Or did someone take that too? 😞

              Cheers, funny. maybe that's why he's so good in open field rugby, he's very real without pretense or overthinking, simple and nice, plays naturally.

                Aura has gone missing again.

                Been found by Rattue in the Herald.

                Am neither opening the story or posting a link.

                  Aura's on a long vacation, off sightseeing in parts of the globe where they don't traditionally play Rugby. Here's hoping her travels take her to Japan in October.

                    @booboo Feel awful saying this, but I thought it was very good piece by Rattue.

                    His sentence about other countries not having NZ's playing talent, but their national sides being much better organised rings true.

                      Gallows humour but which countries don't have our playing talent? I'm watching Anscombe and Heinz trot around at the moment.

                      It's a fair point also surprising that Eddie hasn't worn out his welcome and that Gats has had a resurgance in his 10th-11th years in the job pouring some cold water on the idea that Hansen is just past a natural used-by date.

                            Been hanging at Eden Park

                            https://i.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/114992985/bledisloe-cup-the-startling-eden-park-numbers-for-all-blacks-and-wallabies

                            Following Australia's record-breaking win over New Zealand in Perth last weekend, the Bledisloe Cup goes on the line on Saturday night, but at a venue which carries such an aura for the All Blacks, and such woe for the Wallabies.

                              Stuff messing with her

                              What is more, you can justifiably suggest that after being thumped so decisively by the Wallabies, on the back of a string of unconvincing performances leading back to last September's home defeat by the Boks, the All Blacks' aura has been well and truly shattered.

                                  Aura has been found alive and well. Was spending a few days in London with a Guardian journalist apparently....

                                  "If you’re just waking up in the Northern Hemisphere, be afraid - Wales, England and Ireland fans. The rumours of the All Blacks’ demise were greatly overstated - and while it wasn’t the best showing from a slightly sub-par Wallabies, it was a huge statement of pre-World Cup intent, that the World number one team is in no mood to meekly lay down their crown, just yet.

                                  Plenty has been written over the past week (and in recent months) and this squad of 23 was too proud to take any of that, lying down. Even late in the 70th-80th minute there was no space for charity.

                                  Big, strong - and a little bit angry. The imperious All Blacks are back, Ladies and Gentlemen. And the Bledisloe Cup stranglehold continues."
