Trying times

I write to complain about the recent feature regarding the law and modern rugby union (see [2001] Gazette, 11 May, 22).

Quite how you can expect to present a balanced article without reference to myself - the 40-year-old fly-half for Ormskirk 4th team - is beyond me.

I may now consider either hanging up my boots or leaving the profession in disgust.
