England two years ago, Murrayfield did its best impression of monsoon season in the tropics as Storm Ciara blew in and wrecked any hope of a spectacle. Lineouts were particularly hazardous – Scotland lost eight on their own ball – and kicking skywards was a lottery.
Saturday’s forecast is not quite as bad, but not good either. Heavy rain and strong winds are expected to buffet Edinburgh during the day. The gusts may have calmed to around 20mph by kick-off, but the likelihood of rain is still deemed to be 98%.
