Aura the TMO 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?

[taniwharugby]

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)

[No Quarter]

@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.

[booboo]

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.

[taniwharugby]

@bovidae yep, as always seems more fans that do the moaning and claims of bias.

[Stargazer]

I've been told that Mystique was in Sao Paulo with the Maori All Blacks. Not sure it helped.

[jegga]

After the 2007 Rwc and the behaviour of the overseas press and “ neutral “ fans I have no fucks to give about whining when we win on a tight call .

[Crucial]

Any karma was for the whinging to WR after Italy made them look stupid for not knowing the ruck laws.

[jegga]

First they come for the myth, then they come for the aura

@jegga Especially likes this.

"Admittedly there were many elements for the referee, Jerome Garces, to look at in an instant, which makes his job very difficult. But there was nothing clear and obvious to deny that try. The ruck, unlike the controversial Owen Farrell tackle the week before, was not 50-50. It was not even 80-20. It was 100 per cent onside."

[Bovidae]

Never believe a man who is named after a car.

Maybe this should be in the bogan thread?

No bias there , very balanced

@jegga is good though, I expect this will provide fodder for years to come!

Good to see Healey living what he preaches when he asks for consistency.

He was a cock as a player and he's still a cock as a commentator.
