[QUOTE="miccloarch, post: 1100392, member: 78309"] The hemisphere split played a big role. From a NH/home nations fan perspective it must've been hard to watch NZ, AUS and (occasionally) SA dominate the new pro era with attractive running rugby. Age plays a role as well. If you were an older French fan, maybe the 1980s was the best decade of rugby you ever witnessed. I'm always wary of the idea that the contemporary era is the best because it's generally heavily fueled by recency bias (if not a total disregard of history). We never have the perspective of time to see what today's era will look like after it's done and what kids will say about it in the future. [/QUOTE]
