4.50pm - match abandoned
Well, it was as much as we expected after that torrential downpour. A great disappointment for all the crowd, who are currently squeezed into the bar next door in a bold attempt to dry out (perhaps that's the wrong expression to use). So, do join me, Will Luke, and Chris Busby for the final match of this series tomorrow at Belfast for Ireland against Scotland. Until then - good night, and keep dry.
4.40pm
It is absolutely tearing down now. What a summer Britain and Ireland are having this year. It's raining so hard that I fear for the roof of our cosy press box, not to mention for the state of this match. You know what to do. Go find that kettle.
I'm sorry to report that it's raining here, it's very light at the minute. As I type, they are coming off as the rain gets much harder and the covers are whisked on in super quick time. We could be in for a lengthy delay
