    Interesting quote from Kellaway given the Wallabies are 1-0 down in a 3 match series they have to win outright.

    "There’s no real pressure on our end."

    According to @NTA there has to be pressure on their end for this to happen "You'll smack six shades of shit out of us next week"

      @snowy He's saying for him there was an aura, but now he's played them that's worn off.

      I'd suggest our low success rate has less to do with aura and more to do with New Zealand's players being better at rugby than Australia's.

      Ok, what I don't understand though is these blokes play NZers all the time - why did the Aura wear off only after he played the ABs (or have I misunderstood the comments?)

      I think there's a difference between playing NZers and playing the All Blacks. On a psychological level at least.

      Almost like an aura?

      Makes some sense to me, the Wallabies have nothing to lose as they have no aura to lose..

        An aura only exists if someone mentions it.

            Very philosophical. Could an unspoken Aura exist at all?

              I always thought that was the root of the humour in the whole 'aura' thing (or are we taking it seriously now?)

              The only time 'aura' gets mentioned is when someone is telling us it has gone.

                I don't think that we take it seriously, but it seems that other teams / players might.

                Second bit - Very philosophical again - can something that apparently doesn't exist then be gone, and how many times can you lose something that you already lost the year before (for 20+ years)?

                      Something something Mo'unga is the greatest 10 to play the game, something something Cullen Grace is the best new young player since DC, something something the Crusaders injury replacement prop who played 2 minutes of a warm up game should be in the ABs.

                      From my reading of his articles back in the day I think the above is a good approximation.

                        Maybe aura gone.. if they'd had Deans... or if they have Robinson it'd still be there?

                            I almost see a pattern...

                            Something something Crusaders10 is the greatest 10 to play the game, something something CrusadersLooseForward is the best new young player since pastCrusaders10, something something the Crusaders injury replacement prop who played 2 minutes of a warm up game should be in the ABs.

                            In the 80s you can replace all of the Crusaders with Auckland.

                                  I've no idea what it says, pay walled and obviously stupid

                                  Something something Mo'unga is the greatest 10 to play the game, something something Cullen Grace is the best new young player since DC, something something the Crusaders injury replacement prop who played 2 minutes of a warm up game should be in the ABs.

                                  From my reading of his articles back in the day I think the above is a good approximation.

                                  Maybe aura gone.. if they'd had Deans... or if they have Robinson it'd still be there?

                                        Aura is currently on long term leave but has checked in to touch base.

                                          Foster has well and truly buried the aura. But she can rise again, but there is a lot of defeated enemies that need to be sacrificed to get us there.

                                          Gregor Paul has a payable article on rugby pass lamenting is demise under Foster
