Gale-force winds are set to batter The Hive during tonight's URC showdown with Ulster.

Club chiefs yesterday brought kickoff forward an hour in the hope of avoiding the worst of it.

And head coach Sean Everitt is keeping his fingers crossed Storm Amy doesn't cause havoc in their bid to bag a first win.

He said: “It’s something we deal with quite often at The Hive. We have plans in place for that, should the weather change or become worse than is predicted at the moment.
