Sir, – I haven’t laughed as much in a long time as I did when I read Séamus Ó Loingsigh’s hilarious letter on rugby parlance (March 10th).
It got me thinking that perhaps the Six Nations tournament should now become quadrennial, sparing non-rugby folk like myself this annual bombardment of rugger gobbledegook, most notably from my English Premier League-loving pals.
I don’t know what they’re on about and, quite frankly, they don’t either. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – The complexities of rugby’s laws, not rules... tut, tut, are always challenging, but Owen Doyle’s weekly analysis of games greatly helps with deciphering decisions.
For once, he does seem to have lost the run of himself a little this week though, suggesting Georgian referee, Nika Amashukelli, did a good job in the France v England match, other than allowing two French tries erroneously. – Yours, etc,
