Watership Down Deny Allegations of Hooliganism
25/08/98 23:15 BST
Accusations of hooliganism have been flying since Acid and sukroD of the kroD order were assaulted by men in pink bunny suits last week. Suspicion around the incident, which caused the last-minute substitution ofthe kroD members for new players due to the injuries caused, has fallen heavily upon both Watership Down and the Voracious Rabbits. Both teams are entered into Pool H along with kroD, and both teams are composed of, well, bunnies.

"This is an outrage!", stated Fiver of Watership down, at a press conference at the team's training grounds by the old farmer's fields near the gorse bushes. "Watership Down is an order committed to the virtues of sportsmanship and fair play. We would never ambush members of a rival order, and if we did, we'd use something better than slide rules!"

"kroD are a worthy order, and we consider them comrades." added Bigwig."Besides which, our accusers miss the point. Acid and sukroD were attacked by men in pink bunny suits. We are bunnies. No suits required. You'll notice also that none of us are pink."

When asked for further comment, team captain Buckthorn, whose grasp of human language is minimal, uttered only "Silflay hraka!" and brandished a dwarven signal grenade, after which reporters hastily left the scene.

The Voracious Rabbits have not been approached for comment because, frankly, everyone's too scared of them.
