I look forward to David

Walsh’s articles, but with

reference to his piece on the

Ireland v Wales match I wish

to inform him there is no

such position in rugby union

as second receiver. The

position to which he refers is

known as inside centre.

Second receiver is a play on

NFL positions and I find it sad

that David has fallen into

borrowing language from

another discipline.

Charlie Jackson, Gullane

I congratulate Rod Liddle on

his column of February 6. I

am a Wolves fan and when

we beat Manchester United

1-0 a few weeks ago a neutral

viewer would have needed to

consult the fixture list to find

out who won. There was only

minimal mention of how well

we played — it was all about

how badly Man United

played and the predictable

platitudes from the panel

about who they are going to

sell and sign. Well done for

highlighting why United have

little support outside the

likes of London, Surrey and

Berkshire.
