Sir, - Following the splendid rendition of God Save The Queen at Lansdowne Road on February 15th, I trust that we Irish supporters, 50 inclined, will be afforded thee opportunity to reciprocate at Twickenham next year. I for one, look forward eagerly to accompanying whichever of Her Majesty's bands strikes up Amhran na bhFiann.
Naturally the IRFU's duty is not to insist on its recital. The home anthem will satisfy those on the Irish team whose allegiance is to the Crown. - Yours, etc.,
Granite Place, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.
