Sir-lI have for a long time past posted on to England my copies of The Listener. It is, after all, one of the few journals in this-country with some sort of cultural outlook, if only in parts. However, I think you may agree that I am justified in sending this last number with the enclosed portion removed. I am not concerned with the brilliance or otherwise of McCarthy’s Jonesy, who "must play rough," but I feel certain that he would not find a place in most of the club teams in England that the All Blacks are likely to meet in their next tour, not twice, anyway, if the alleged tackle depicted is part of his stock in trade. I hope in the selection of the next touring team those responsible will bear in mind that there is more in a Rugby tour than playing Rugby.

(Slightly abridged. The "enclosed portion" was the photograph of Peter Jones pouncing on Tommy Gentles. A little rough, perhaps, but these moments are often exaggerated when the camera isolates them.-Ed.)
