 Rugby
Star Danny Cipriani
Drops F-Bomb on Live
TV....In Front of
MillionsAudiences gasped as Rugby star Danny Cipriani was caught up in yet another controversy. It seems he used the F-Word live in an interview after England's victory over Ireland. As the 20-year-old praised England's eight-man pack of forwards, he referred to their numbers, saying: "It's the f***ing one to eight who deserve the man of the match." The player added immediately: "I can't believe I've just sworn on live TV."
The blunder was a
dark cloud over
Danny's otherwise
dream debut. The BBC said: "While we make every effort to avoid broadcasting bad language, this was a live interview and occasionally interviewees get caught up in the excitement." His starting debut for England was due to be realised when he was picked at full-back for the game against Scotland on 8 March 2008. However, two days before Cipriani was to make his full England debut, he was axed from the squad due to "inappropriate behaviour", believed to relate to a late night visit to a London nightclub. He started against Ireland on 15 March 2008,which England won 33-10, replacing Jonny Wilkinson at fly-half. He had a particularly successful match, converting all of his goal kicks and controlling the game well. --- Alistair Prescott, Gambling911.com Originally published March 16, 2008 9:42 am EST
