Sir, – Frankly, I’m a nervous wreck! With each passing match over the last few weeks my heart has been beating a little faster. I have squirmed and tussled on my couch during every 80-plus minutes of each contest, in a reflection of each tackle made and every pounding clash of a muddy jersey. I need some respite! Here’s to the Irish team rounding off a phenomenal Six Nations Championship with a historic home-ground Grand Slam victory. Win or lose, they are heroes every one. – Yours, etc,
GEOFF SCARGILL,
