Madam, - I share Gerry Thornley's confusion as to why the Munster and Leinster rugby players, "on fire" for their provinces, cannot gel for Ireland (Sport, February 6th).
I am reminded of a line from a 1980s film called Back to School: comedian Rodney Dangerfield is explaining why he and his second wife don't get along: "I am an earth sign, she is a water sign. Together we make mud". - Yours, etc,
FRANCIS FULLEN Dublin 8.
