Passport puzzler delays Jenkins

Gareth Jenkins was forced to catch a later flight from Argentina

Wales coach Gareth Jenkins had to endure an extra dose of Argentine pain after mislaying his passport.

The Wales squad arrived back in Wales on Monday lunchtime after their two-Test series loss in Argentina, with Jenkins following on a later flight.

"We haven't left him behind!" joked Wales assistant coach Nigel Davies.

"The morning we were leaving Gareth's passport had disappeared, but we had great help from the (British) Embassy in Buenos Aires."

Jenkins was only a matter of hours behind his charges, but was forced to miss the official debrief back in Cardiff.

"Thankfully we were able to get Gareth back on the second flight, because there were always two flights coming back to Wales," Davies added.

"It's one of those things, it happens to everyone - better if it hadn't happened but he'll be back a little bit later on."
