Aura watch

[No Quarter]

@taniwharugby yeah good point, the offside is more obvious if it is ruled as when TJP actually picks it up rather than just touches it. Conor Murray is to blame for that, he's been taking the piss at the back of the ruck for years.

Aura was on her knees for us today, the dirty bitch....

She does whatever it takes for us to win and that’s why we love her.

[booboo]

Love that it's the Walrus giving her life and energy this time.

Maybe some karma as well after last week's non-penalty for the Farrell tackle.

From the interviews I saw from Farrell, Ashton and Jones, none are whinging so bravo to them.

[taniwharugby]

@bovidae yep, as always seems more fans that do the moaning and claims of bias.

[Stargazer]

I've been told that Mystique was in Sao Paulo with the Maori All Blacks. Not sure it helped.

[jegga]

After the 2007 Rwc and the behaviour of the overseas press and “ neutral “ fans I have no fucks to give about whining when we win on a tight call .

[Crucial]

Any karma was for the whinging to WR after Italy made them look stupid for not knowing the ruck laws.

First they come for the myth, then they come for the aura

@jegga Especially likes this.

"Admittedly there were many elements for the referee, Jerome Garces, to look at in an instant, which makes his job very difficult. But there was nothing clear and obvious to deny that try. The ruck, unlike the controversial Owen Farrell tackle the week before, was not 50-50. It was not even 80-20. It was 100 per cent onside."

Never believe a man who is named after a car.

Maybe this should be in the bogan thread?

No bias there , very balanced

[taniwharugby]

@jegga is good though, I expect this will provide fodder for years to come!

[dogmeat]

Good to see Healey living what he preaches when he asks for consistency.

He was a cock as a player and he's still a cock as a commentator.

[Nevorian]

If he is searching for answers it is there in his own words when he admits that the English only played well for 20 minutes. I quite liked the Austin Healey as a car and well restored ones fetch good prices these days.

That's why I read The guardian and not the Tory graph. Another so called expert still judging from the rules of his era.

The Breakdown | It was tough on Sam Underhill, but England try was rightly disallowed

Courtney Lawes took a gamble and lost when he charged down TJ Perenara’s kick against the All Blacks. The referee was correct

That, and the paywall.

its weird , they talk about ending myths and auras , but by doing that , they are acknowledging , in their minds the myths and auras exist ,

No need to be afraid of the bogey man if you dont believe he exists

[jegga]

It pleases me that these cretins control rugby and refs do what we tell them to. That must be a great mindset to go into a game with.

[Crucial]

The myth retired ages ago, back to his farm.
