VENUE CHANGE: Edinburgh v London Irish switched to BT Murrayfield

Tonight’s European Rugby Challenge Cup Round 3 fixture against Edinburgh will now take place at BT Murrayfield (kick-off 7.35pm).

Inspections of the Myreside surface, which has had protection in place all week, were carried out on Friday evening and Saturday morning.

In consultation with the match officials and owing to freezing temperatures, with a further drop expected later today, it was decided that the game should be moved to guarantee it goes ahead as planned. The club also felt it important to make an early decision to give supporters sufficient time to adjust their travel plans accordingly.

Undersoil heating has been on at BT Murrayfield as part of the club’s contingency plan.

All existing match tickets are valid and tickets continue to be available for purchase online up until kick-off from www.eticketing.co.uk/scottishrugby/EDP/Event/Index/2145
