Connacht rugby team are remarkably still stuck in Russia and sound fed up

To Hell or to Connacht

Will Connacht’s Siberian nightmare ever end?

Seemingly not as after making the 6,000 km trip to Russia on Wednesday, defeating Enisei-STM by 31-14 on Saturday, they have still yet to return back home.

They were scheduled to fly out after the game on Saturday evening, but a technical fault with the plane meant they were left stranded and forced to spend the night. Another day has passed and they are still in Moscow.

Despite the annoyance of being stranded half way across the world, John Muldoon has managed to keep his sense of humour.

Aly Muldowney confirmed that the spirits remain high in the Connacht camp, although the ordeal has affected Kain Gleb in some peculiar way.

Beware of the Gleb? Sounds ominous.
