Change The Game returns at Connacht!

3 May 2026

Edinburgh Rugby return to Hive Stadium to face Connacht on Friday 15 May for their final URC match of the season – and this fixture carries a meaning that extends well beyond the final whistle.

For the second successive season, the club is proud to dedicate a home match to its Official Charity Partner, It’s Good 2 Give, under the Change The Game banner –  and we’re calling on the Edinburgh Rugby community to once again play their part.

It’s Good 2 Give exists to support young cancer patients and their families across Scotland at one of the most difficult times of their lives.

Through practical assistance, vital mental health provision, and the restorative sanctuary of their Ripple Retreat on the shores of Loch Venachar, they make a real and lasting difference to families navigating the challenges of childhood cancer.

On Friday 15 May, Hive Stadium becomes more than just a rugby ground – it becomes a place to make a real difference.

  • Give online: Make a secure donation via the Edinburgh Rugby x It’s Good 2 Give Just Giving page HERE.

In the build-up to the match, we’ll be sharing stories from the families and young people whose lives It’s Good 2 Give has touched so you can see the difference your support makes.

On the night, look out for a special It’s Good 2 Give ball delivery before kick-off, and donation points throughout the stadium where you can give on the spot.

Friday 15 May is a chance for everyone connected with Edinburgh Rugby to stand together for something bigger than rugby.
