Following representations to the match officials from the Nottingham camp, an inspection was held at 1.30pm and the referee ruled that a small part of the playing surface was unplayable. It has therefore been called off, and the suggestion that it could be rescheduled for Sunday has been rejected. JRFC are very disappointed by the way events have unfolded, and we are sorry for the inconvenience caused by today's events particularly to those supporters who came to St Peter today in the expectation of seeing a game of rugby.
