Storm Desmond leaves Leinster game hanging in the balance

The Pro12 match between Leinster and Glasgow Warriors that is scheduled for later today is in serious doubt after Storm Desmond wreaked havoc on Scotland overnight.

It seems the Scots are getting it much worse over there than we are experiencing here, and the heavy rainfall they are getting over there has called a halt to some sporting events, inluding a Celtic soccer match.

A pitch inspection is due to be held at the Scotstoun Stadium at some stage this morning to review whether or not the field is playable there. The fears are not only for the pitch, but for fans of both sides travelling to the game in such poor conditions.

Kick-off is still scheduled for 3pm.
