    Three comments:

    For the longer term TSFers, the above was written by the same bloke who wrote the legendary piece about how the AB's were shit before we destroyed France in 2004.

    Secondly, for all the criticism that the UK rugby media (rightly) gets, when they decide to do it properly, their research is usually very strong.

    Thirdly, given Walsh's usual ego-driven writings, I'm rather surprised he hasn't written more of his own opinions on the last 4 paragraphs ...

    No that was Simon Barnes who wrote that piece.

    https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/all-blacks-trading-on-nothing-but-worn-out-myths-qqpnrxt0ddm

    Stephen Jones wrote an article before the 2002 test vs England pointing out how pathetic the ab team was on paper. “ where’s McCaw, where’s Jack ?” And “ who is Ali Williams? Mr Johnson your breakfast is served “ were the stand out quotes from it .
    I tried to find it after the game but it was taken down .
    Where do they find these piston wristed gibbons?

    I've still got Brian Moore's "England will destroy the All Blacks Aura of Invincibility once and for all" Sunday Times article from the day of the 1995 RWC semi somewhere....

      I just googled to find that (which I failed at) but it is hilarious how many times we have lost Aura - she's like my car keys!

      Nearly all of the articles are from U.K. columnists that are actually creating Aura by continually talking about her. Very amusing.

        I can't be the only one who finds the aura shit pumped out by the press- whether its still there, lost or found - cringeworthy.

        Good comic material though..

                    why do they need a Policy? I am sure all of their good mums and dads would have instilled in them at an early age that you always lend a hand and your bags - your job!

                    Look like a bit of a disorganised rabble though, sure they could get that line a bit straighter and the Skipper looks like he has picked up a non-all blacks piece of luggage there

                                        Eddie Jones has told England they stand on the brink of greatness after setting up a World Cup semi-final against the “beatable” All Blacks on Saturday. Jones described New Zealand as the greatest team in sporting history but believes England can reach the final provided they are not blinded by the All Blacks’ aura.

                                        All Blacks are best sports team ever but beatable, says Eddie Jones
