Lothian Buses<\/a> have warned those commuting to the game and around the city to expect diversions<\/a> before, during and after Scotland<\/a> vs Tonga.<\/p>\n

The match is due to take place at 1.40pm at Murrayfield Stadium<\/a>, with several roads closed around the area to ensure fan safety.<\/p>\n

Scotland fans have been left disappointed during the Autumn tests with typical performances seeing the side narrowly miss out on victory against the All Blacks as well as throwing a 21-0 lead away against the visiting Argentinians.<\/p>\n

The team did blow away the USA in the opening fixture and it is certain supporters will expect more of the same against Tonga after booing the players off the park last Sunday.<\/p>\n

Services 1, 2, 12, 22 26, 30, 31, 100, X18, X27 and X28 will all be impacted by diversions.<\/p>\n
