    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.

              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.

                  you're right! And yet, we were 1 point away from a heroic man down World Cup that would have been one for the ages. Clearly better than SA on the day, but you just won't win with 14 v 15.

                  2017 was when I started to fall properly out of love with the professional game. The 'we have a deal' and the subsequent retconning by the Lions fans (it was never a penalty and KR was offside) just left me with a sour taste in my mouth. Rugby seems to want to send people off these days - and ti's much improved this season, but still a real issue.

                                Huh.

                                Aura was born on the back of doing enough.

                                        "All Blacks leave it late at Twickenham but watching world will take note of their diminished air of invincibility"
                                        I didn't realize invincibility was a broad spectrum.
                                        But technically speaking, the ABs might have looked vincible but weren't vincibled. Today.
