Sir, – Exiting the bailout programme is all very well, but what about facing the All Blacks? They should have been told by everyone years ago that the grisly haka had no place in sport. As they were not, one would expect opposing teams to devise an effective response, but most of them submit weakly and are psychologically beaten before the kick-off.
Proposals are now required quickly from brilliant Irish Times readers for an Irish response by the team and/or the attendance which shows defiance but which is not so provocative as to incur severe punishment for such daring. – Yours, etc,
