Led out on to the field by Richie Gray, Robbie was ready to make his voice heard as he joined in with the national anthem.
Robbie left Murrayfield not just with a Scotland kit, signed rugby ball, programme and flag but a huge grin on his face after the result (27-22 for the Scots).
Speaking after the big day, Robbie said: ‘It was great. I really enjoyed it.’
