Rugby poll -thoughts
A few observations:
- Northern hemisphere folk aren't much interested in southern hemisphere rugby despite the fact that it's usually much better! In fact, the overwhelming popularity of the Six Nations is quite a surprise given how many really poor games that tournament produces.
- The sample is too small to establish if the converse is true but my experience would suggest so. Oddly, the only Kiwi responding appears not to know what rugby is.
- Only a quarter of the people who claimed to follow the Six Nations follow any kind of non-international rugby. This tends to confirm my belief that below international level, the European game is a bit of a shambles. I don't have the data but I'd be really surprised if only a quarter of people who follow the Trinations, follow Super 14.
