Ireland 42 Bayonne 6: O'Driscoll in doubt for WC


O'Driscoll will be using straws
Irish rugby fans were drunker than usual today following the injury to captain Brian O'Driscoll during their World Cup warm-up match with French club side Bayonne.
Whilst the result was beyond doubt by half time when the Irish led 20-6, O'Driscoll was punched by Mikaera Tewhata soon after the break, and was taken to hospital with a suspected broken jaw. If the initial diagnosis is confirmed, his place in the team will be in doubt with the first game, against Namibia, only 23 days away.
