The Murrayfield Greatest Rugby Moment Shortlist:
1975: Scotland v Wales – The Record Crowd
On 1 March 1975, Scotland edged out Wales 12–10 in a Five Nations thriller that has gone down in folklore for the sheer scale of the crowd. More than 100,000 fans officially packed the terraces, though many believe the true number was closer to 130,000 – a figure that remains the stuff of legend.

1990: Scotland’s Grand Slam Triumph
For every panellist, Scotland’s 13–7 win over England in March 1990 stood as a defining Murrayfield moment. The match, remembered for David Sole’s famous slow walk onto the pitch, Tony Stanger’s try, and the rapturous final whistle, secured Scotland’s third and most recent Grand Slam.

2017: Doddie Weir’s Match Ball Delivery
Few moments in Murrayfield’s history have matched the emotion of Doddie Weir’s match ball delivery ahead of Scotland’s Test against New Zealand in November 2017. Recently diagnosed with MND, the former international lock walked onto the pitch alongside his sons Hamish, Angus and Ben – to an outpouring of applause and emotion from 67,000 fans.
