When it doesn’t want to, it doesn’t want to… Beaten flat out by Stade Toulousain, Friday June 28, 2024 in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) in the Top 14 final, the players of Union Bordeaux-Bègles had a real struggle to get home. Explanations.
Can we talk about bad karma? After their severe defeat in the Top 14 final, in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) against Stade Toulousain, the rugby players of Union Bordeaux-Bègles had no luck on the way back, leaving the Vélodrome stadium on the night of Friday, June 28, 2024.
Due to the storms which fell on the Gironde, the pilot of their plane which brought them back with their staff and their families was forced to land yesterday at the Toulouse-Blagnac airport (Haute-Garonne), as revealed the Rugbyrama website. They were never able to take off again. And finished their bus ride.
Unlucky until the end, they were in any case very sporting in saluting the clear victory of the Rouge et Noir, on their X account, after a very good season.
On May 11, it was the Stade Français players, also beaten by the Rouge et Noir, who also had to make an emergency landing due to a technical incident with the landing gear of their aircraft.
