«Yes, football is secondary and I think, yes, we are shocked because we now love the team knowing that they had to experience that,» Wilkinson told a press conference.

“But also we have a great group and I am convinced that everyone is in order. We have practiced for the unexpected; that is what we can call this. We will check in with everyone and ensure that they are all in a good place and then we can concentrate on football again.

Wilkinson said the crash took place near the team hotel.

On Wednesday, France will be confronted and Wales wants to stay alive in the competition after losing his opening fixture with 3-0 against the Netherlands.
