Leinster and that final

Sir, – Louis Bielle-Biarrey, as he danced his way through the Leinster defence to score his second try for Bordeaux-Begles, brought to mind the famous quip by Mick English about Phil Horrocks-Taylor, who played outhalf for England:

“Horrocks went one way, Taylor went the other, and I was left holding the bloody hyphen.” – Yours, etc.
