    Guscott and Healey would have to be the laziest and least interesting ex-player columnists. Just phone-it-in levels of effort. End up with cliches.

    According to the Tom Fordyce of the BBC, Aura has been "clipped away" after defeat in Dublin.

    Perhaps she enjoyed the local Guinness and hospitality a bit too much?

    Fordyce is correct. She had hair below her shoulders when I saw her at Twickenham last week.

    Read knows Aura and her buddy Mana are still attractive to young All Blacks ...

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12165261

    "The pressures of social media is real, that is another part of this whole puzzle you have got to grasp with these guys. It can be tough but it is also pretty rewarding because you can see what it means to them all and in terms of the black jersey, it hasn't lost any of its aura and mana. Everyone is playing for the right reasons."

    A big win against a side that holds a Tier One status it scarcely deserves is not reason to shout from the rooftops that the All Blacks are back in rugby paradise with a restored aura of infallibility.

    Guardian journo wants to steal some aura for the wallabies by using Thorn as coach

    "Queensland Reds head coach Brad Thorn should coach the Wallabies forwards and defence – and bring a certain aura to the team."

    Nov 25, 2018  /  Sport

    Rugby Australia must act as Wallabies' worst calendar year finishes

    Rugby Australia must act as Wallabies' worst calendar year finishes

    The Wallabies have sunk to such a low point that Rugby Australia must now intervene in the coaching and selection of the team

    @machpants No. She had a fling with a leprechaun, but soon saw the error of her ways, and can't help herself whoring after the good guys in black once again. Red is not her colour.

    @machpants i would prefer they worked on their skill levels, their physicality, and finding a bit of form.

    But yea, they can look for aura a bit too. She's probably on abeach on the Coromandel for the summer.

    @snowy If google did what I wanted, it would be interesting to see how many times the aura has been killed off over the last dozen or so years. More lives than a cat!

    Yep. She is a keeper.

    Try to tell me that other teams still don't feel like they will lose to the ABs. Ireland may have some confidence but I still wouldn't back them, even at home in a re match.

    @snowy Some teams think, or know they, can, none yet know they will

    @snowy is a key part of a build up though, how do they prepare for a game you know in all likelyhood, you will lose, and if an off day, badly. Especially for a team who has never beaten us.

    How often have we had an off day and still managed to find a way how to win.

    While people may point to the Irish as showing how to beat the ABs, giving hope to those who believe, but you still need to pull it off, and play bloody well, which the Irish did this year.

    During the Rc there was talk about the abs being too dominant and test rugby being boring and predictable.

    Two losses to teams that played with a lot of heart and Auras gone missing , coincidence? I think not.

    I agree.

    @taniwharugby We do lose pretty much a match a season. It sucks, but the Irish have just become the Australia of yesteryear.

    Aura will live on.

    Aura, where are you, Aura?

    Think she's been hanging out with Akira Ioane a bit?

    Quite likely. It is time for us to unleash our new superstar.
