Storm Amy Forces Postponement of Edinburgh vs. Ulster URC Match

The club says forecast gale‑force winds made playing anywhere in Scotland unsafe.

Overview

  • Edinburgh had shifted kickoff from 20:05 to 19:00 in a bid to miss the worst conditions.
  • The postponement followed consultations with the URC, Scottish Rugby, the Met Office and local authorities.
  • A Met Office yellow warning is in place for high winds and heavy rain across Friday and Saturday.
  • Managing director Douglas Struth said safety of supporters, players, partners and staff was the overriding factor.
  • A new date will be confirmed later, with the club thanking ticket‑holders and Ulster Rugby for their understanding.
