Madam, - I wonder if the GAA management has considered putting on hurling exhibition games of, say, 15 minutes each way as a prelude to the forthcoming rugby internationals at Croke Park. Imagine the impact on the thousands English and French rugby fans witnessing a live hurling match for the first time.
In addition, because of the novelty of the occasion, the foreign TV stations would surely broadcast part if not all of the games thereby increasing the viewing audience at leat a hundred fold. - Yours, etc,
MICHAEL SMYLES, Danesfort, Castle Avenue, Dublin 3.
