Connacht's Friday night United Rugby Championship clash with Glasgow Warriors at Scotstoun Stadium has been postponed due to Storm Éowyn.

Heavy wind and rain will sweep through Ireland and the UK on Friday, leading to the rescheduling of the fixture to a 3.30pm kick-off on Sunday afternoon.

A URC statement read: "This decision has been made due to the severe weather warning in place and the dangerous wind conditions expected to occur across Scotland and Glasgow this Friday – the original date for the fixture.

"Safety of spectators, team and venue staff, players, match officials and broadcast personnel are the number one priority and it is clear that the expected weather conditions would severely compromise this.

"The BKT URC would like to thank both teams involved, the host broadcaster Premier Sports and the Irish broadcaster TG4, for their understanding in rearranging this fixture to ensure it takes place on a scheduled weekend.

"All tickets purchased for the match will remain valid for the rescheduled date and kick-off time."
