Edinburgh miss repayment deadline

EDINBURGH Rugby have failed to meet the Scottish Rugby Union’s demand for repayment of £1.4m (€2.07m) in advance funding.

The SRU had told Edinburgh to find the money by the close of business last night, after claiming the professional club terminated their operating agreement with the union.

Edinburgh have also been ordered to leave Murrayfield and told they have no right to train or play matches at the stadium complex.
