About Nations Championship: Scotland v New Zealand

A November international brings two of rugby's oldest rivals together, with the home crowd turning out in numbers for a Saturday fixture against the world's most storied side in black. Expect a full day of build-up around the ground, with pubs and fan zones filling early and the atmosphere sharpening as kick-off nears.

Autumn internationals carry real weight in the northern hemisphere calendar, and a fixture against this opposition draws visitors well beyond the home support. Cold air, close rugby and a crowd that sings — this is the shape of the day.

Where to stay nearby

Edinburgh itself is the obvious base, with the widest choice of hotels and everything within walking distance or a short bus ride of the ground. Ratho and Queensferry offer a quieter alternative a short drive out, useful if the city centre books up or you'd rather stay somewhere calmer on match night. Both have a modest but workable spread of hotels, and regular buses or a taxi into Edinburgh keep them practical for matchday.
