Sunday's Premiership fixture between Gloucester and Northampton has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.

Covers had been used at Kingsholm following last weekend's European Challenge Cup clash with La Rochelle.

But with the temperature forecast to remain below freezing, and drop to minus 10 in Gloucester on Christmas Day, there is no chance for a thaw.

Premiership Rugby has access to three sets of hot air blowers but these have been deployed at other grounds.

No date has yet been set for the rearranged fixture.
