That said, I'd say totally coincidental...they should do the same over the history of the ABs to see if there is a real pattern.
The stats will be a little bit out of date now, but according to a book I have (based on the period from 1883-2003), January and July were the most popular months for an AB birthday over that 120-year period. June was the least common month of birth. A side note, Meads and Fitzpatrick were both born in June.
A couple of chumps so doesn’t matter.

I was just a bit shit at rugby, all heart but zero talent.
Nice. I was a bit the opposite - still shit at rugby but had "some" athletic ability. Lacked the aggression. If I was as angry in my teens as I am now...who knows what might have happened. I was even born at the right time.
Actually Outliers is quite interesting but I wouldn't read too much into it.

There should be a version of rugby for grumpy old men.
