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.
She's back

Fox Sports Editor in not knowing anything about rugby but having to write about it and failing shocker.

@voodoo said in Aura watch:
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

Aura has been found. Work underway to claim her back.
Rugby World Cup: Rejuvenated New Zealand out to reclaim aura of the All Blacks as place in final beckons
New Zealand meet Argentina in Rugby World Cup semi-final in Paris on Friday; All Blacks have bounced back from turbulent 2022 to establish themselves as contenders to lift the Webb-Ellis Cup having overcome world No 1 side Ireland in an epic quarter-final

You definitely know Aura is back when UK sports hacks write this sort of stuff...
"Time, perhaps, for the All Blacks’ aura of self-righteousness to be punctured. So much of it is corporate grandstanding, not least the “rainbow streak” commercial they released in 2018 to coincide with Tokyo Pride Week."
All Blacks' nauseating sanctimony will be at all-time high if they secure World Cup victory
New Zealand want everyone to know they are the game's moral guardians as well as a very fine rugby side

All this time we thought aura was gone, she was living rent free in the heads of NH rugby writers

@MajorRage without meaning to sound churlish I think the Boks have Lady Luck in their pocket rather than aura.
Not their fault but
1995 - France semi AB's sickness
2007 - Didn't face decent opposition all tournament. The closest they got was a poor England in pool play and again in the Final
2023 - Fair play France, England, NZ in the knockout is some run, but they did enjoy more than their fair share of luck. -
