Aura watch

@sparky said in Aura watch:
hey are the fourth or fifth best international side in the world. No better than that.
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.

"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.
