Luggage finally catches up with Canadian women’s rugby sevens team in France
It took 85 hours but Canada’s women’s rugby sevens team was finally reunited with its luggage in France on Thursday.
The Canadian women left Sunday, flying from Victoria to Montreal and then Lyon. They ended up in Clermont-Ferrand, the final stop of the World Series season.
But their luggage was not so fortunate. Bags belonging to 15 of the 18-member travelling party did not arrive with the players.
The good news is most had their cleats and other necessities in their carry-on luggage. Still more was needed. Earlier this week veteran Ashley Steacy tweeted a photo of the team holding up bags after a group shopping expedition.
