Welsh rugby club's 46-man touring party stuck in France after flight cancelled as bus dispatched from Cardiff to collect them

A Welsh rugby club has been forced to hire a bus from Cardiff to collect them from Bordeaux after cancelled flights left a 46-person touring party stranded in France.

Members of Clwb Rygbi Cymry Caerdydd have been stuck in France after their return flights with EasyJet for their tour of Toulouse were cancelled, with the club saying no alternative flights have been offered. With no appropriate train services available or local buses or cars for hire, the 46-strong party has been forced to scramble around for ways to get home.

The club say their travel plans had already been disrupted due to a previous flight cancellation, leading to them rearranging to fly home from Bordeaux instead of their original destination of Toulouse - 150 miles away.
