hi guys i didn't know were to post this but na well i'll post it here.

I just want to say that there are rumours that they are still confirming were they are going to play the Scotland v Tonga on the 22nd of November or the 23rd of November this year. I'm not going to be bothered too much on when they play Tonga but i don't want it to Pittodrie. Like fair enough its good to give the fans up north a chance to go watch some off the games near were they live. But what i'm not happy with that BT Murrayfield is the home off scottish rugby for a reason and i believe that all the games should be played at BT Murrayfield. Like England play all they're games at Twickenham. All of Wales, France and Ireland play they're games at they're home stadium. Like i'm sure they're are a lot off people who would want to watch Scotland vs Tonga well if people would like to watch scotland vs japan im sure they'll watch scotland vs tonga. the same with Scotland vs Samoa which was last played at Pittodrie.

what do you guys think ?
 
I think it's a smart move.
Rugby ain't doing too great in Scotland and any attempt to engage a wider audience should be grasped with both hands.
 
Scotland wants a third domestic team up north, don't they? Surely tests up there is a good way of doing that. I get you want to play at Murrayfield and use your stadium. I think it makes sense to move games around especially for teams like England and France where rugby doesn't have much penetration in many major cities.
 
Scotland's actually played Tonga there already; back in 2012.

They lost 21-15. :rolleyes:
