Welsh rugby team finally home after 19-hour bus journey from sweltering France amid flights chaos

A Welsh rugby club have finally arrived home after being stranded in France on a rugby tour after their flight was cancelled.

Clwb Rygbi Cymri Caerdydd had been stuck in Bordeaux after their return flights from their tour of Toulouse were cancelled by EasyJet. However, the help of Cardiff-based coach holiday firm Ferris Holidays helped them get back to Wales with a gruelling 19-hour journey.

And now, having been in France for a week and taken nearly 72 hours longer than expected, the players are finally back home. Despite previously joking to WalesOnline about extra days putting "the last of the spending money on red wine", relief was the overriding emotion for members of the club who have missed work as a result of the delays.
