Rugby coach faces challenges to succeed in Dublin for event amid Heathrow closure

Sky News speaks with Paul Charles, Head coach of the London Irish U12 rugby group, as he shares the challenges of his journey to Dublin for a event amidst the Heathrow airport closure.

Mr Charles mentioned, "It’s been a real challenge for us from what was 4am this morning until where we’ve just arrived in Dublin."

He continued, "It’s a brilliant thing to do as a club but also a brilliant thing because this is the resilience we need to show when these things happen."

He added, "There was no way we were going to let it happen that we didn’t arrive in Dublin today, it didn’t matter what was going to happen, we’d have walked if we had to."
