    Well, let's close the thread.
    Boring old common-sense/missing-the-point has spoken.

    Or change thread title to auréole? (I'm guessing that is French for 'aura'?)

    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:

    Sep 5, 2023  /  Sport

    All Blacks head to Rugby World Cup without champions’ aura

    All Blacks head to Rugby World Cup without champions’ aura

    Drawn with hosts France, Italy, Uruguay and Namibia, they can expect to canter out of Pool A – but their path to the decider is treacherous. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

    Post Italy:

    Ian Foster talks true 'value' of Italy win, 'panic' and quarter-final opponent

    Ian Foster talks true 'value' of Italy win, 'panic' and quarter-final opponent

    The scoreline might suggest it was an easy win for New Zealand, but Ian Foster insists there was plenty to take away from the match.

    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
