    Hive Stadium in Edinburgh was due to host Friday's game

    Friday's planned United Rugby Championship (URC) fixture between Edinburgh and Ulster has been postponed due to adverse conditions.

    The sides were due to meet at Hive Stadium with the initial kick-off time of 20:05 BST brought forward to 19:00 BST to avoid the worst of Storm Amy.

    However, worsening conditions in Scotland has prompted the URC to postpone the game with forecast storm winds making it unsafe to move the game to another venue.

    Edinburgh managing director Douglas Struth said: "We were set to welcome a capacity crowd for tonight's game.

    "However, the safety of supporters, players, partners, and everyone associated with this weekend's fixture is of the utmost importance so, while disappointing, it is absolutely the right decision to postpone tonight's game considering the escalating weather reports overnight.

    "This decision has not been taken lightly. We have worked closely with the URC, Scottish Rugby, the Met Office and local authorities to ensure it is the best-informed choice."

    The URC said it will now consider available dates with broadcasters and both clubs to reschedule the game.

  22. Returning Graham will energise Edinburgh - Everitt

    Darcy Graham starts for Edinburgh after returning from injury

    Head coach Sean Everitt says Edinburgh will be energised by the return of Darcy Graham as his side look to bounce back from defeat by Zebre when they face Ulster on Friday.

    It is a game that has had its kick-off brought forward by just over an hour to 19:00 BST to avoid the worst of Storm Amy.

    Edinburgh opened their United Rugby Championship campaign with a disappointing loss in Italy, although Everitt denied it had been "a lacklustre, or a heartless, performance" from his team.

    The South African admits, though, that his side must get league points on the board early to avoid last season's late scramble to reach the play-offs.

    Everitt hopes the return of Scotland wing Graham, who has recovered from the ankle injury he suffered in his single appearance for the Lions in the summer, will help Edinburgh bounce back against Ulster.

    "It's great to have Darcy back with his experience, number one," Everitt said.

    "Number two, he's a world-class player. He's very creative in his style of play and he does give the team energy.

    "The team will take a lot of confidence out of having him on the right wing."

    Everitt does not wish to dwell on Edinburgh's poor start to the season and wants his side to put the defeat by Zebre behind them for their first home game of the campaign.

    "It is frustrating because it's not the start that you had planned and were hoping for," he said.

    "I'd rather those mistakes happen in round one than in round 16. So the guys are positive and we know that Edinburgh always fight back after disappointment."

    Paul Hill faces a late fitness test on a calf injury and Angus Williams will replace the prop on the bench if he is ruled out.

    Edinburgh: Wes Goosen, Darcy Graham, Piers O'Conor, James Lang, Duhan van der Merwe, ⁠Ben Healy, Ben Vellacott; Pierre Schoeman, ⁠Ewan Ashman, ⁠D'arcy Rae, ⁠Marshall Sykes, Grant Gilchrist, ⁠Liam McConnell, ⁠Hamish Watson, ⁠Magnus Bradbury (capt).

    Replacements: Paddy Harrison, James Whitcombe, Angus Williams/Paul Hill*, ⁠Sam Skinner, Freddy Douglas, ⁠Charlie Shiel, ⁠Findlay Thomson, ⁠Harry Paterson.
