Preview: Scotland v Australia
Scotland get their Autumn Nations Series underway at BT Murrayfield against Australia tomorrow (kick off 5.30pm) - live on Prime Video.
What they said:
Ollie Smith said: “I can’t wait. Playing at BT Murrayfield’s obviously been a big goal of mine ever since I started playing rugby so it’s going to be great.
“My Dad’s season tickets are just next to the tunnel, so I used to look over the tunnel and try and get high fives from some of the players, so it’s some full circle!
“It’s going to be pretty surreal, something I’ve never experienced before so I’m really looking forward to it and I absolutely can’t wait.”
