"It'll be a great experience to play an international team – something the players never thought they'd get a chance to do. I'm sure they'll thoroughly enjoy the experience.
"We should get a good crowd of Currie supporters down but I'd hope that all rugby fans in Edinburgh and beyond come because the match presents a great opportunity to see an international team in close quarters because you're so close to the pitch."
