Frank Haddens men finished third in the RBS 6 Nations Championship and the game will provide the national team with a timely warm-up before the summer tour to South Africa in June, where they face the might of the Springboks.

It also marks the first anniversary of Haddens appointment and he will be eager to repeat last years historic first victory against the Barbarians, 38-7, achieved at Pittodrie.

Scotland captain Jason White said: Im sure there will be games back in my home in Aberdeen again in the future.

The Aberdonians, like so many in Scotland this season, have really got behind us.

The support weve received from the Scottish public has been immense and its been great to hear Murrayfield so noisy again.

Well go into the Barbarians game on a high, having finished the championship with our away win in Italy but also knowing that were unbeaten at Murrayfield this year, after our victories against France and England.
