Am happy to say we are booked into our very good friends for the duration of the Edinburgh weekend. Taxi is already booked from Dunfermline to Murrayfield..........the joys of being Scottish and still having friends up there.
Good to see the planning already in full swing. Is everyone staying in Edinburgh center? And can anyone reccomend some decent rugby orientated pubs? Never to early to sort a bar for the gold, black and green to invade!
