@booboo exactly
also think it a bit of we were batting amazingly above our weight for a long time...and more recently its just been batting well above our weight...but people dont think about it like that and only compare to when we were amazing
It is "punching" above our weight, our batting is flakey at best and prone to collapse.

"Aotearoa has a lot of aura" ... considering most of the continent is underwater.

What is so poignant about this victory is that not only was it against South Africa our nemesis in Rugby and 7s, it was around a year ago since the Rugby World Cup final give or take. I really believe this weekend has probably cemented us as probably the best sporting nation per capita in the World. In order to reach the final we had to beat the West Indies who are essentially a collection of small countries including the three who were ahead of us in medals per capital at the Olympics.
