          I genuinely think this is the best thread on the Fern - great mix of sarcasm, irony and links to WTAF? articles.

          In other words, it has a aura of its own

            Some recent reports of missing Aura ...

            From earlier this month:
            https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/all-blacks-head-to-rugby-world-cup-without-champions-aura

            Post Italy:
            https://www.rugbypass.com/news/ian-foster-talks-true-value-of-italy-win-panic-and-quarter-final-opponent/

            New Zealand has scaled the dizzying heights of World Cup excellence before, but recent form has resulted in speculation that the side doesn't impose the same intimidation factor or possess the same aura that they once did.

              And in the press conference at 7min20s ... but doesn't carry as much weight as NZ journo.

                Sounds like someone needs to catch up on some Ranfurly Shield action.

                  However, you only had to look at their reaction after they ousted Ireland in the quarterfinals to recognise this - the All Blacks’ aura isn’t what it was and the players know it.

                    @booboo

                    This tournament was just a few subjective refereeing decisions away from New Zealand, South Africa and Australia all being eliminated before the semis.

                    Can anyone help me with the one that saw NZ scrape through?

                          Can only be the quarter final. Things like porter being penalised, I guess

                                      Aura is definity back when UK sports hacks write this sort of stuff...

                                      "Time, perhaps, for the All Blacks’ aura of self-righteousness to be punctured. So much of it is corporate grandstanding, not least the “rainbow streak” commercial they released in 2018 to coincide with Tokyo Pride Week."
