Curious... what is the breakdown of Fern subscribers above/below 40? There’re a few oldfucks here (raises hand slowly), yet my guess is anybody with a sharp recollection of 1987 would be a distinct minority.
@kirwan can post the google analytics. From memory the age breakdown is heavily in the 35-50 range
Stats for the last year;
45-54 = 24%
35-44 = 24%
24-34 = 23%
55-64 = 13%
65+ = 8%
18-24 = 5%So close 30% under 35 but more over 65 than under 24. Seems about right to me
More surprising to me is 25% female, but that doesn't feel reflected in the posts which is a shame. Hopefully there are regular posters that are female that are just not advertising the fact (probably wisely).
32% New Zealand based posters. Next biggest chunk is the US, another surprise. Third is Poland!
For the developers out there, IE is down to 1.24% of this year's traffic. Die Demon, Die.
And shout out to the user using the SeaMonkey browser.Some interesting stats in there, traffic by unique users is the most we've ever had. We commonly get to numbers that we used to only get on World Cup knockout stages back in 2007.
we have people under 24 here? Actually, i am shocked we have people under 30 here!

Well, to be fair, we've won two world cups in the last 8 years, so the recency bias is entirely explicable. What I don't understand, is the world cup winners who lost out to world cup losers... For example, Olo Brown was a great AB, but Owen Franks has won two world cups. It's not even a contest as far as I'm concerned.
Winning a RWC doesn't correlate with awesomeness. FFS, Olo was the greatest TH prop in the world for nearly two RWC cycles, with daylight second. Straightest back in the game, an absolute unit.
Franks O is good, but I don't think at his peak he was as far ahead of his peers as Olo was. Legend in the game, adn rightly so.

This sort of blatant provincialism is disgusting.

Yes, but the whole point of the poll is to work out who were the best ABs at Rugby World Cups!!!

To rate players in the ‘87 tournament, you’d pretty much have to have been born by 1970 to have seen that RWC and grade the players with any degree of knowledge, which means you’d have to be nearly 50 years old now.
It is possible to watch replays. Sure, you won't have all the context as you would watching it at the time but you'd have a fresher memory than someone who last watched it it the 80s...

I have thought at times "was that post written by a polish chicken? Probably not, they know more about rugby".
