Sam Warburton has fallen victim to the bad weather as he tries to catch a flight to Paris.

The former Wales captain is facing a race against time to get to the French capital ahead of the opening Six Nations clash where he is working as a pundit.

"I was on the 9.30am," he said speaking to BBC Wales.

"A few of the guys are went over yesterday from Bristol. I was doing some work last night for the BBC so we knew we would be cutting it fine this morning but I am sure we will all be fine."

Not much fazes the Welsh rugby legend, of course, having captained his country and the Lions.

"I am probably too laid back for my own good so I don't mind at all," he added with a laugh.

"I have got 12 hours to get out there. Even if I need to get the EuroStar or something I am sure I will be there for kick-off so I am not worried at all."

The 9.30am flight from Cardiff to Paris which he was supposed to get has been delayed this morning with the 9.45am flight to Amsterdam and the 9am flight to Dublin also cancelled.

It is a much worse situation across the bridge with all flights at Bristol International Airport cancelled this morning due to snow.

Nothing is taking off or landing until at least midday, including flights to Paris where Wales play France this evening as the Six Nations kicks off.

The airport is essentially closed with no flights departing or arriving until this afternoon at the very earliest.
