riiiight. That old chestnut. While i am sure there are some sweaty obsessives out there (a few of whom post here...) my general impression of kiwi fans is once vricket season rolls around, we switch really quickly. Still very much a summer-winter fan base.
Yeah. Still happy to have discussions about how the world cup is Ireland's to lose over summer, but it's drowned out by limited Cricket coverage. The Fern is first and foremost a rugby board though - I bet the volume of posts in NZ Winter are 2-3x larger than the summer. Helps that we do go away and get off our dependency IRL for a while with people
Most of the population, though, takes a passing interest in rugby, and tends to believe what they read. This leads to 'The ABs get preferential treatment' 'they only win cos they're thugs' 'mccaw is always offside' and all the other chestnuts.

3x is about right.
Unique visitors doesn't drop by much in summer but there's less activity. Incidentally this last Dec/Jan was busier than other summers
