Too cold for comfort: Ulster's home clash with Zebre postponed due to frozen pitch

If you’re on your way to Kingspan Stadium, turn back.

TONIGHT’S GUINNESS PRO12 fixture between Ulster and Zebre at Kingspan Stadium has been postponed due the pitch being frozen in parts.

The northern province announced the news little over an hour before the scheduled 19.35, after the decision was made by rookie referee Craig Evans (WRU).

The province say they will work with competition organisers and Zebre to reschedule the fixture and advise supporters to retain tonight’s tickets as they will remain valid for the rearranged match.
