SRU President Jim Stevenson today hailed the initiative.  “It’s massively important for the Scotland team at the start of Andy Robinson’s tenure as national coach that we have big crowds at Murrayfield.

“International matches generate the majority of Scottish Rugby’s revenue.  That money funds the game throughout the country at all levels.

“Historically we have offered club commission on ticket sales but I think it’s wonderful that we can give 25% back from each ticket sold via a club during the Bank of Scotland Corporate Autumn Tests to that club.

“That could mean the difference to a club between, for example, providing transport to a mini-rugby tournament or having to decline.

“If the club can sell enough tickets to fill an average-sized bus to come to one of our internationals next month, then the commission will amount to enough cash to cover the cost of that private transport to and from Murrayfield Stadium from as far as Inverness in the north.”
