A manhunt is under way in France after an Irish woman was allegedly gang-raped in Bordeaux, where she had travelled for Ireland’s Rugby World Cup opener.

CCTV images were being trawled last night as police searched for three men accused of raping the 37-year-old rugby fan who was in the city for the Ireland v Romania game on Saturday.
