Not exactly "new" details. Although I don't recall the cinema being mentioned previously.

So the refs know about Aura ?
What is our propaganda machine ? Is this a new one.

I think it’s like a scrum machine but only the coaches push.

The Silver Fern is the NZRU propaganda machine, they rest of the rugby world tremble at it's sports nerd rage, and bow down to it's collective wisdom! All hail TSF!

Heh, even our own journalists spend half their time bagging the All Blacks.

New AB power, led by Frizzel?
Hapless Lacey? Fark, he got it right by the rules, however bad that looked, and otherwise did a good job.

@kiwiinmelb She delivers the money to the ref's in brown paper bags from the NZRFU.

We have had one for years
This was the original, ditched after failing to work in 1905
The idea went quiet for a while but was resurrected with great effect (particularly in Cymru) in 1963. It worked so well that it had an effect that still lasts. I believe we left it in a pub toilet in Wales
The plan to bombard journalists with leaflets was abandoned when the NZRU realised that there was no NZRAF available, although a rather bungled attempt was made in 1983 from a private Cessna where the instruction to 'bag the boks' was taken a bit too literally.

It looks a bit like Woodward's 2005 model but without the tendency to blow up in your face....

So our Aura is back, but we're in danger of losing her.
There's a discussion of how low our ratings will fall if the Boks beat us by 15 or more. If they do that, then our world ranking fall will not be what the fans focus on. There was much angst about a loss by two!

These stories are so much chop.
NZ might lose to SA. And then to Australia. And Ireland might lose to Italy and Argentina and Wales might beat ...,Zzzzz

So how and where is it going to virtually disappear? I guess you could say the lead might virtually disappear, but not the No 1 ranking. That's not disappearing in any way, shape or form. That makes no sense at all.

Aura spotted hanging with Stuart Barnes Monday this week ...
2 The Championship comes to its conclusion this weekend with the Springbok v All Blacks rematch the headline act. The world champions might already have reclaimed the title but after Wellington's loss, don't think there will be anything 'friendly' about the game.
A second win for South Africa would suggest a vulnerability which Steve Hansen would rather not have his team project. Aura is an important, if invisible, part of the winning package. Defeat would be a massive psychological boost for one side and a major slip on the part of the other. This game will be played as if the World Cup final.
-
So Aura is our number 24?
No wonder Cheika keeps selecting an extra player. He’s looking for an Aussie Aura named Dwayne.

Last seen ... Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria

Still hanging around...
*There's still a ton of respect for the world champion All Blacks but The Times believes the armour of Steve Hansen's side has been dented by a resurgent South African outfit who have laid a blueprint with their aggressive defence and direct attack.
"It would be pushing it to say that New Zealand have lost their aura during the Rugby Championship, with one defeat to South Africa and one remarkable escape, but the Springboks have undoubtedly done the rest of the world a favour," wrote John Westerby.*

Clearly they didnt' watch last year. Narrow loss to Aus in Bris, and a narrow escape in Dunedin. So maybe we're just trucking along as usual, and play decent sides frequently.
-
@nzzp yep, thats giving little back to the opposition and claiming it's us that are dropping.
Thing is, you need a bit of luck too, and when playing with confidence, luck jumps on for the ride.
I thought the Lions showed the blue print for beating the ABs, and now SA have, Eddie has had the blueprint for 2 years, is there anyone that doesnt have these magical blue prints?

Blueprints are easy. Executing is hard. Executing consistently is very bloody hard. That to me is why this AB side is so good - they seem to rarely have off days like Chicago, where the prep and focus is not there.

What if you have a pact?

The All Blacks might have an Aura, but according to Mick Cleary of the Daily Telegraph, England have "the Gods with them again......"

Or the refs have ‘a deal’?
-
Even Jones is bigging up the team aura - not individual, they're all crap like the over hyped Retallick individually, it's a team thing - awesomeness caused by aura.

Angus Gardner is a god?

Apparently hanging with Mystique ...
... Russell Hargreaves with RS Brekky guys.
Listen from 7m20s (before that if you want to hear Eddie's interview) and specifically at 7m45s.

basically you are f%cked if the refs have a deal, it over rules everything, INCLUDING Aura!
-
Aura the 16th player today.
-
-
The aura is ended even when we win?
"New Zealand played out time to preserve their one-point lead in a match, which, although it did not finish in England's favour, ended any aura of infallibility concerning New Zealand in the heads of Dylan Hartley and his team."
-
Even if the whinging poms try was allowed to stand who’s up say we wouldn’t have scored again ourselves?
-
He may have been on side IF they were playing the old way of when a 9 touches the ball (although he still looked offside anyway being a step in front of the line) but it infuriated me how long Youngs would stand there hands on and we have to stay back....you reap what you sow fellas, this is how the game, particularly the NH games have been policed for a few years now (take note Marshall)
-
@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.
-
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.
-
@bovidae yep, as always seems more fans that do the moaning and claims of bias.
-
I've been told that Mystique was in Sao Paulo with the Maori All Blacks. Not sure it helped.
