Sir, – Ireland's Call has been the subject of comment in the past. The slow funereal pace and poor rendering of the rugby anthem prior to Saturday's match in Rome had a subduing rather than uplifting effect. It does not compare favourably with the rousing rendering of the national anthems of other rugby playing countries. – Yours, etc,
MICHAEL CLEARY,
