Brian O'Driscoll discovered the pithy side of French rugby during a warm-up match with Bayonne this Thursday. The Irish crushed the side 42-6, but came away with a number of serious injuries, including O'Driscolls harbles."There must have been a translation problem," O'Driscoll stated to post-match interviewers, "the Bayonne were told the play the ball, and made a right royal mess of it."
In a match marred by numerous yellow cards O'Driscoll suffered a suspected broken cheekbone and Irish officials now find themselves concerned for his inclusion in the World Cup side.
"Brian's a wee bit worried, his missus has a almighty right hook" officials allegedly stated, "She said if he came home with evidence of a close encounter in France, there'd be trouble.
"The man's balls are the size of a bunch of grapes now. She's bound to be a little suspicious."
O'Driscoll is not expected to recover from the concussion before the beginning of the Cup.

Can't help but feel sorry for BOD (even though he'll probably launch a personal attack on France and publish a book chronicling his bitterness). I think he is a great player (if not necessarily a great guy) and I hope he manages to recover for the World Cup. It will be a loss to the tournament if he isn’t fit for it.
