Wales' deaf rugby teams move from 'shocking' accommodation during World Cup in Argentina
Wales' deaf rugby teams paid extra money to move to a hostel after being provided with "shocking" accommodation during the World Cup in Argentina.Pictures from the accommodation showed holes in mattresses and stained pillow cases.The chairman of the Wales Deaf Rugby Union, Tyrone Hughes, described the situation as "a joke".
"It is such a shame as Cordoba was a welcome host and the people lovely. It's not reflective of the overall experience."Despite their struggles with accommodation, Mr Hughes said the "proof [was] in the pudding" as the players "knuckled down" to win both the men's and women's titles.
"It would be nice to think in the near future we could claw something back, so we can carry on our commitment to future fixtures."This year's tournament was the first time Wales women had reached the final and they saw off England 32-0 on Sunday.
