Bugger returns Hasn’t the Six Nations finished? 'Tis the season known as the Autumn Test Series which is now upon its and our rugby bravehearts will be testing their mettle against some of the world's best national teams.
But it’s just not as good as football. .\'o‘.’ Some or the Norton people who turned tip at last year's Autumn Test matches tnight beg to differ.
Isn’t it expensive? 'I‘r)‘ £15 for all three of Scotland's home games. Ba) a ticket for the All Blacks game and a second ticket for another game is half price. and the third is completer gratis. nada. nowt. That’s over 240 minutes ol sporting brawn to be exact. and a mere pittance in comparison for the chosen l'ew who shelled out o\ er a
score for the Hibs V Hearts match.
