    Wild to me that Ian Jones didn’t crack the nod over Sam. Jones was immense in the 95 final.

    @Smuts Whitelock was pretty immense in 1.5 finals...that we won 🙂 Plus so good in 2011 that he kept Williams out of the starting side.

    He got 9/15 didn't he?

    9/15 were not Crusaders, and therefore %60 were incorrect for an ACT-Crusader team was what I was getting at.

    Dave Gallaher at Fullback? He was a wing-forward and died nearly 70 years before the first Rugby World Cup.

    O, you mean, John Gallagher..

    @Duluth Weird that the public poll didn't put Sean Fitzpatrick as the best RWC Hooker. Best player in that position for nearly ten years at international level.

    It doesn’t matter about his 10 years, it was his RWC performances that should’ve got him the vote. Got mine for his 87 and 95 Cup showings.

    @sparky I watched highlights of all the AB games from 87 and I think we might be looking at Gallagher through rose tinted specs. Good yeah but better than Osbourne, Dagg or Smith - don't think so. Not based on what I saw of his RWC

    @dogmeat one of the more surprising ones for sure given the names you mention, particularly the performances of Osbourne in 95 and Dagg 2011.

    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.

    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.

    Set up a poll!

    @kirwan can post the google analytics. From memory the age breakdown is heavily in the 35-50 range

    I’m 16 and just got my first iPhone 5, but remember the 1987 RWC like it was yesterday.

    I was thinking that when I did the post. There were a couple of you. I think if we have brackets of 10 years up to 100, we should be covered this time 🙂

    You'll be off to the clinic for your first colonoscopy before you know it.

    I'm not arguing with that

    pretty sure half the blokes here regularly volunteer for them, just not at clinics

    @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.
