PROFESSIONAL RUGBY?

Sir, - Professional international rugby Irish style:

1) Play a seriously injured out half from the start and only realise this twenty minutes into the game. 2) Pick a serum half who can't pass. 3) Recall a winger without any defensive ability. 4) Choose some forwards to stamp their authority on the ruck. 5) Persuade the manager to conduct the inevitable post match interview in phrases as understandable as Swahili.

GUBU! Bring back amateurism. - Yours etc,
