Scotland Women visit Edinburgh Zoo ahead of The Vodafone Series

Ahead of an action-packed September for the Scotland Women’s rugby team, who take on Wales and Fijiana at Hive Stadium next month (Friday 6 September, 7:35pm kick off and Saturday 14 September 4:35pm kick off respectively), players Chloe Rollie, Rhona Lloyd and Eva Donaldson visited the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland’s (RZSS) Edinburgh Zoo.

Chloe, Rhona and Eva took time out from their training schedule to pay the animals a visit. During the visit the international athletes popped in to see the penguins and learnt of the giraffes' and meerkats' superpower-like abilities to see danger and prey from afar. The players were also keen to understand more about the wildlife conservation charity’s work to protect animals in Scotland and around the world.

Both located in the west of the city – Hive Stadium within Murrayfield Stadium campus (the women's team home ground) and Edinburgh Zoo offer great days out for families. For a chance to win tickets to either of the upcoming women’s games visit Edinburgh Zoo’s social media channels.

Both of Scotland women's games are offering an Under 12s go free ticket initiative whereby under 12s can come to either game for free when accompanied by a full paying adult. T&C and booking fees apply.
