    Hello Everyone

    I came across this awesome site nearly 20 years ago just after I got the Internet in the days of Bartman and Red Beard. I logged in as a member and contributed a few times but then left. Since then I have remained then a non member but lurker for 15 years can you believe, reading everything on here almost daily. I wonder how many others do this. I have sat through then you all looking at you all discuss 4 Rugby World Cups and I do not think we have lost the Bledisloe Cup since I started looking.

    As a result of this lock down, I have tonight finally taken the plunge and created a log in again. Of all the forums online I have come across, this is the best of them, but I have found it easier just to observe and learn while I agree, somewhat agree, disagree or strongly disagree. So here I am, nice to now talk on here and maybe contribute. Rugby and Cricket I love to support and I am involved in the community level heavily in both sports. But I enjoy lots of other threads too.

    Hope all are well in this currently interesting world.

    Moderators do great job on here too, lot other forums it goes pear shaped a lot more. Layout is a bit different and quicker once you log in.

    @erps Welcome back!

    Am I right that there are more people who read the Fern but never/hardly ever post than regular posters?

    @mariner4life at times, some of the analysis is actually good, I have used bits of it in real life rugby teams...
