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.

Oddly enough, California is a hotbed of women's rugby so that may not be such an issue.

Hmm - could definitely be played to LJ strengths then - but you might need to cross rugby with Firefly fanfic writing to be sure of a massive LJ audience. That might make an interteresting plot for a story?

Certainly F/F slash would likely appeal to American women rugby players.

My complete lack of knowledge of any of the fan bases that slash derives from rather precludes it.

Shame - and sadly I cannot help you out with that one either - I observe a lot of it going on in my line of business, but only from the outside (and I am generally supposed to pretend that I don't know, too).
