Fans given Derby Day incentive to buy tickets for France game at Murrayfield
It means fans could save up to £20 on the cost of two matches. Tickets for the France game start at £35 for an adult and £17.50 for students/under-18s.
Dominic McKay, director of communications and public affairs at the SRU, said: “This gift is to thank our supporters for their backing throughout the last 12 months. The support has been tremendous, particularly during the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, and I know the players take a lot of encouragement from that. These are also difficult economic times and we felt it right to give something back to rugby fans across the country. Tickets have been selling well and we would encourage supporters to use our new seat-finder system on the website and buy early.”

We’ve had some great crowds for the game in previous years but, with people taking up this offer, it could be an incredible atmosphere. We want to see as many people as possible at Murrayfield on Boxing Day and this gives them an added reason to go.”
