Teenagers in Aberdeen can’t wait for the chance to watch Scotland in action this November.

Speaking after it was announced that Scotland would be playing their third and final Autumn Test against Samoa at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday 27 November – the first two games in the series, both at Murrayfield, against the might of New Zealand and South Africa are on the preceding two weekends – local youngsters recalled the “amazing” atmosphere of previous international matches.

You can savour that special buzz too.  Tickets for all three games are on sale now via this website or the 24 hour hotline (Tel: 0844 335 3933).

Local youngsters can't wait for the Scotland game in Aberdeen

The young players from Aberdeen Grammar, Aberdeen Wanderers, Mackie Academy FP, Ellon and Garioch, who have been attending an Aberdeen Youth Rugby Association skills and strength improvement camp over the summer, met Scotland head coach Andy Robinson and scrum-half Chris Cusiter at Pittodrie.

You can hear how the previous Scotland match at Pittodrie – against Canada in 2008 – helped them to catch the rugby bug in our audio interview below.

Meanwhile, Aberdeen FC manager Mark McGhee also welcomed the news that international rugby would be played in the north-east.

McGhee told www.scotlandrugbyteam.org that he would be encouraging his players to watch the game and see what they could learn from watching another team prepare and perform.
