The pitch at Dragons’ Rodney Parade ground is frozen and in unlikely to thaw in time to be playable.

A new date has yet to be announced.

Edinburgh coach Richard Cockerill said: “It’s disappointing for everyone involved not to have the game go ahead, however the freezing conditions are such that it simply wouldn’t be safe do so.

“We’ll quickly turn our attention to preparing to face Munster at home next Saturday.”
