**Storm Amy Disrupts Welsh Rugby Travel Plans! 🌧️🏉**
What a day for the Scarlets as Storm Amy turned their flight to Dublin into a travel nightmare! The team and their devoted fans faced utter chaos, with their plane attempting multiple landings in Dublin before finally being diverted to Manchester.
The journey started at 1.30pm from Bristol, but things quickly took a turn for the worse. After several failed landing attempts, they found themselves on the Manchester runway for hours, as the clock ticked past 11pm and passengers grew restless. Strikingly, there were even rumours circulating about police being involved after a passenger reportedly tried to open an emergency door!
Due to the havoc, the United Rugby Championship clash with Connacht set for Saturday at 1.45pm was postponed just before midnight. Connacht expressed their disappointment and extended apologies to all the affected supporters, reassuring them that their tickets will still be valid for the rescheduled game.
Meanwhile, the Scarlets are grappling with an injury crisis. Key players like Josh Macleod, Sam Costelow, and others are sidelined, adding more woes to their troubled weekend.
Stay tuned as the URC works to find a new date for the match in collaboration with broadcasters and both teams. We’ll keep you updated on all developments!
