Sir, – I refer to John Doherty's sardonic letter (February 4th) regarding Scotland's defeat by Ireland. Let us not forget that we did not distinguish ourselves last year in Murrayfield. While Ireland is playing good rugby at the moment , we should not get carried away. Let's hope that on our visit to Murrayfield next year, the Scots won't send us homewards to think again! – Yours, etc,
