Rugby – the wearing of the green (and blue)

Sir, – In order to obviate complaints about international rugby ticket prices, Dave Robbie points out that Leinster season tickets are excellent value, giving access to over 20 matches for prices comparable to one premium ticket for the All Blacks match (Letters, October 30th).

The main difference is, of course, they often win things.
