Sports Letter: Hip hip Hoey

Sir: Perhaps once Kate Hoey has finished bragging (sports letters, 10 November) about her five matches, one training session, and after-match meetings with Clive Woodward's England rugby team, she will ponder the following question. How many similar visits did she make to watch Wales, or the 1999 Five Nations' Champions, Scotland? Of course, had the Minister for English Sport and Fox-Hunting done so, she would have had to sit through some exciting back play and even tries, so perhaps it is best she stayed away.
