The match had already been moved from the NRCA Stadium in Amsterdam to the Duke Rugby Club in s-Hertogenbosch and brought forward to an earlier kickoff time due to concerns over the weather.

But the pitch was deemed unplayable following overnight snow and freezing temperatures.

Former Ulster fly-half Ian Humphreys, who was due to commentate on the game, told Radio Ulster he had spoken to players who had been left frustrated by events.
