Tom Ryder wants to experience the 'full flavour of international rugby' after just two minutes for Scotland It is a fulfilment of a dream, but I do not want to have just the one cap and go away. I want to be playing regularly, having an impact on games and having a fulfilled international career. His brief taste has been enough to whet his appetite for more and since the locals in Samoa reckon the temperatures in Apia, the islands's capital, are about five degrees warmer than in Fiji, he is almost certain to get his wish on Saturday when Scotland play in temperatures that are certain to soar past a humid 30 degrees. Nor is he underestimating the challenge ahead of his side. The Samoans have a formidable team available to them and have just been crowned Pacific Nations Cup champions after an unbeaten tournament in Japan that culminated with them edging past the hosts to clinch the cup. The Samoan forwards are better known than the Fijian ones, a lot of them are playing in France or in the Aviva Premiership or are in and around the PRO12. They are all playing good rugby, so it is going to be a full on international. It is nothing less than that," said Ryder. I am friends with the Census Johnston from my time at Saracens and obviously with David Lemi from Glasgow. You just have to look at the name on their team sheet to see the quality and the standard of rugby that these players are producing. I would imagine they are going to be a tough, physical pack. Scotland will play Tonga at Aberdeen Football Club's Pittodrie Stadium on Nov 24, it has been announced. The Tonga Test, which sees Scotland return to Pittodrie two years after hosting Samoa there, completes the EMC Autumn Test series, which also features matches against New Zealand (Nov 11) and South Africa (Nov 17), which both take place at Murrayfield. Head coach Robinson said: "It's tremendous to be returning to Aberdeen. There's a passion for the national team in the north-east of Scotland which was very evident when we played Samoa two years ago. I know the lengths supporters go to travel to Murrayfield for matches and I firmly support the initiative of the national team taking the game to other parts of the country when we can. Scotland have played at Pittodrie three times in recent years - in a non-cap game with the Barbarians in 2005, against Canada in 2008 and Samoa in 2010 - and are unbeaten in those fixtures.
