[QUOTE="unrated, post: 899517, member: 45773"] Yea this statistics does not mean much. For example in South Africa with a population close to 55 million, From that number about 5 million is Afrikaans and English speaking minorities (Which is the traditional supporter base of rugby and cricket in SA) and then only about half of that minority are interested in rugby. Our Rugby and Cricket supporting population is therefore comparable with that of New Zealand. These numbers are subject to change as more other communities becomes engaged with the sport though. Then at city level it is again very different. With Durban (Sharks home) its actually majority English, and a minority of Afrikaans and Indian supporters that follow rugby. In Pretoria (Bulls home) id say its majority Afrikaans supporters so if they can look at what the populations are of the traditional supporters base only then would it be more accurate. And it really wont be that hard to do as these census results are freely available. [/QUOTE]
