Overview
- Edinburgh confirmed the United Rugby Championship fixture against Ulster will not be played after overnight updates showed storm-force winds.
- The club had already moved kickoff from 20:05 to 19:00 to avoid the worst conditions before deciding it was still unsafe to proceed.
- Officials said it was not safe to stage the game at Hive Stadium, Scottish Gas Murrayfield, or any other suitable venue in Scotland.
- The URC said a new date will be arranged in consultation with both clubs and broadcasters, with details to follow.
- Met Office warnings forecast gusts up to 60–70 mph, and the storm triggered wider disruptions including cancellation of junior Great Scottish Run events, planned ScotRail line closures, and NIFL guidance to postpone matches in amber or red warning areas.
