Storm Darragh has caused structural damage to the Swansea.com stadium.

The Ospreys Vs Emirates Lions match due to take place in the city on Sunday (8th December) has been relocated to Parc y Scarlets in Llanelli.

The date and kick-off time for the match remain unchanged.

In a statement, Ospreys Rugby said: "After consulting with EPCR and thoroughly exploring all alternative venues, including St Helen’s and the Dunraven Brewery Field, Parc y Scarlets was selected as the most suitable option.

"This decision prioritises player welfare and supporter safety, which remain our top priorities.

"Ospreys and EPCR would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Scarlets for their tremendous cooperation and support in accommodating this match at such short notice.

"The date and kick-off time for the match remain unchanged, with the only adjustment being the venue.

"We are currently finalising arrangements for ticket and hospitality transfers, and further details will be shared with supporters as soon as possible.

"We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this unexpected change, and we look forward to welcoming you to Parc y Scarlets for what promises to be an exciting match."
