Kickoff delayed for a while, huge pools of water on the pitch, absolutely pouring down.

Only just found out this got cancelled. I missed the game last night, and have been trying all day to avoid finding out what the score was and trying to watch it on iPlayer. Was getting right pi**ed off that it was still saying 'coming soon' on iPlayer, but Scrum V can be a bit slow to get put on iPlayer in general.

Pitty for both teams, both of them would have benefitted from a tough derby game a week before Europe kicks off.
