Madam, - Approximately four years ago (November 2001) we played New Zealand at Lansdowne Road.
We played very well and were level at half-time, but eventually we were beaten by 40 points to 29. Some weeks later, our coach at the time, Warren Gatland, was sacked. Eddie O'Sullivan was appointed as his replacement.
Last Saturday, under Mr O'Sullivan, we were annihilated by the All Blacks. How secure is his future as Ireland's team manager? How secure should it be? - Yours, etc,
Dr MA HONAN, Portarlington, Co Laois.
