What To Expect
Varsity rugby tends to be competitive and noisy, with students, alumni, friends, and family backing both sides. The neutral stadium setting gives the match more occasion than a standard university fixture.
Tickets & Entry
Check the Edinburgh Rugby tickets and events page for entry details and any updates before travelling.
Location
Hive Stadium is in Leith and is well suited to a one-off varsity match. The stands keep the crowd close to the pitch, which should add to the rivalry.
Getting There
Buses and trams connect Leith with the city centre and the main university areas. Allow extra time if you are travelling with a large student group.
