SCOTLAND rugby bosses are to gamble by taking the third, and last, of their Bank of Scotland Corporate Autumn Test series to Aberdeen, it was announced today.
The Scots will tackle Canada at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday November 22 (kick off 2.45pm).
Tickets go on sale from tomorrow from £15 for adults and from £7.50 for under-18s.
Ground capacity will be 21,500 – almost 10,000 less than attended the Murrayfield World Cup win over Romania held on a midweek evening this season.
SRU chief executive Gordon McKie said: "Our first international in Aberdeen, when Scotland met the Barbarians three years ago, was a resounding success on and off the pitch."
On that occasion 20,228 people turned out to see the Scots record a 38-7 win.
