# Rugby: Five members of Bordeaux-Bègles eventually joined the rest of the French team in Gloucester, England, after being denied entry into the country. Winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey, flanker Romain Gardrat, loosehead prop Matis Perchaud, tighthead prop Toma Taufa and a fitness coach were stopped at Bristol Airport because they didn’t have valid Electronic Travel Authorisation permits, which are required for entry into Britain. The French embassy in London intervened, enabling the group to travel to Gloucester for tonight’s Champions Cup match against the home team.
