Aura watch

Even the two GOAT's (back and forward) auras are taking a bash. Really pointless these things, only proves there are more people in NH than in SH rugby playing countries. No way anyone outside of a kiwi should be in the women's category, they've been so totally dominant as to make the ABs look like they have average results.

@Machpants I have been and voted.
Sexton? I have never quite seen the greatness through my black lens.Men's Sevens player of the decade was an interesting one to pick, as was try of the decade.
Do you choose the try based on skills displayed or the context of how important it was/the opposition?
I ended up going for TJP against Namibia for the shear audacity and skills displayed.

Wouldn't just take Dan Carter ahead of Jonny Sexton, but would take Beauden Barrett and Aaron Cruden too. Probably he's a better player than Stephen Donald or Colin Slade to be fair.

One of the great moments in NZ Rugby. Legend.

Beaver's reward is to never have to pay for his drinks in NZ ever again

But Sexton wins the "Most Punchable Face Award" hands down.

Aura's gone again......
'The aura is gone': Has Argentina's victory shattered the All Blacks mystique?
Historically, the All Blacks haven't just been the strongest rugby team in the world - they've stood head and shoulder above the rest. Some are asking if that's still necessarily the case.
-
@sparky And Mystique?
Some sort of sociopath at work here ...

So if Aura doesn't exist how come the tears...?

Good aura on Fozzie's new best mate.

‘Maybe the aura has worn off a bit’: Wallabies rookie heaps pressure on All Blacks
New Zealand head into Saturday’s second Bledisloe match as heavy favourites but Wallabies winger Andrew Kellaway might have given them some accidental motivation.

@canefan said in Aura watch:
"In a scathing attack, Campese told Stuff that the ‘arrogance’ of New Zealand Rugby had set the All Blacks up for a fall, and that new coach Ian Foster wasn’t the right man for the job."
He might be right about that last bit.....
Campese should have some inside insight in noticing arrogance but for him to think Foster is not right for the job? Really? Has he not seen the man in interviews? Foster is always transparent about being better for the next game. A coach with fantastic hindsight. He sometimes even learns from disasterous positional switches. Possibly.

Interesting quote from Kellaway given the Wallabies are 1-0 down in a 3 match series they have to win outright.
"There’s no real pressure on our end."So they were expecting to lose the series?
