ScotRail engineering work is set to take place between Cupar and Dundee this weekend, which could cause problems for thousands of Rugby fans as they make their way to Murrayfield.
The rail line will be closed from the 12.01 am on Saturday February 26 to 23.59 on Sunday night. To help spectators get to the match on time, ScotRail will operate an express bus from Dundee to Edinburgh, as well as a bus which will call at stations along the route.
Returning from the match, the same will apply, with express and intermediate buses in operation from Edinburgh to Dundee.
Supporters are being advised by the rail company to allow for extra time in case of delays.
Scotland face France at Murrayfield from 2.15pm on Saturday.

Phil Campbell, ScotRail Head of Customer Operations, said: “If you’re going to the match, please plan ahead and allow more time for travel as trains will be busy.
“We’re doing all we can to help supporters travel to the game as hassle-free as possible, which includes more seats on train services throughout the day.
“Customers travelling from the northeast will see longer journey times as part, or all, of your journey will include replacement bus due to essential engineering work by Network Rail, but we’ll have extra staff on hand to help make sure your journey goes smoothly."
