The threat to European rugby

Sir, – John K Rogers (Letters, April 30th) suggests that the number of non-nationals in European rugby club sides should be kept to three or four players. Sad to say, this is not going to happen. At least 10 of the Toulon team that beat Munster were non-French. With professionalisation the game has changed irrevocably and there is no going back. C'est la vie ! Yours, etc,
