Munster rugby must not return to the parish pump politics of yore

I take grave exception to the depiction of Limerick as being an outback on the western fringes of the Munster rugby catchment area by Michael Moynihan in the Irish Examiner, (January 16).

I would suggest that he looks at a map of Munster, which he obviously has not thus far, and he would discover that far from being on the periphery, Limerick is in a far more central area than Cork and far more convenient for many areas of the province and country to reach most notably the rugby strongholds of Clare, North Tipperary, North Kerry, not to mention County Limerick.

It is also far more convenient for the many Munster supporters domiciled in Dublin being less than two hours away via the motorway.
