Scotland v New Zealand

0:00:40 > 0:00:43Playing against New Zealand was really special.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Playing against New Zealand was really special. You always want to

0:00:44 > 0:00:49play against the world number one. We fought some pretty good big

0:00:49 > 0:00:53battles, close battles. Unfortunately to date, New Zealand

0:00:53 > 0:01:02have come out on top.Julian Savea with the try!It was such a great

0:01:02 > 0:01:11occasion to watch the Haka. We were lucky to go right up against them.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Nowadays, I feel a bit sorry for the players, because they're not allowed

0:01:13 > 0:01:22to fight fire with fire. My motto is enjoy and have no regrets, and

0:01:22 > 0:01:25that's the statement I would like to say to the players. Give it your

0:01:25 > 0:01:40all.Jones, what a score!Stewart is in form at the moment, so fingers

0:01:40 > 0:01:46crossed.Not a glimmer of self-pity from Dodi Wear, Scotland legend and

0:01:46 > 0:01:50tireless campaigner to raise awareness for motor neurone disease

0:01:50 > 0:01:53as he battles the relentless and ruthless condition. Today he will

0:01:53 > 0:02:06bring the match ball onto the pitch, as Scotland have their 31st attempt

0:02:06 > 0:02:14to beat New Zealand. A mixture of excitement, anticipation and

0:02:14 > 0:02:17apprehension for all concerned on and off the field, which includes

0:02:17 > 0:02:22our three wise men on the touchline. What a fantastic site basis.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26Delighted to welcome Paul O'Connell, Andy Nicol and alongside me here, a

0:02:26 > 0:02:31man who has scored more tries that the All Blacks than anybody else...

0:02:47 > 0:02:54Doug Howlett, the New Zealand flag, a fantastic strike by New Zealand!

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Individual brilliance!

0:03:01 > 0:03:05Great to have you with us. A phenomenal atmosphere, but at the

0:03:05 > 0:03:10bottom of it is the feeling that the New Zealanders cannot lose this

0:03:10 > 0:03:13game, to the point where one of your greatest players said in the

0:03:13 > 0:03:19newspapers, it was all over the place today, it New Zealand, go out

0:03:19 > 0:03:24and show no mercy.Yes, how about that? A fantastic night here. The

0:03:24 > 0:03:32one thing I will say, the strength of All Black rugby... The midweek

0:03:32 > 0:03:36games have shown there are players ready to step into the shoes of the

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Test team. The guys taking that Test spots tonight are under pressure.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43They are all looking for a position next week against Wales. The midweek

0:03:43 > 0:03:49team have shown they are up to.The All Blacks are up for it. From a

0:03:49 > 0:03:54Scottish perspective, the biggest testable?It is, a huge challenge.

0:03:54 > 0:03:59Scotland have improved without doubt. This is a game where let's

0:03:59 > 0:04:02qualify, quantify that and validated against the best team in the world.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06There is not a bigger challenge in world rugby than playing

0:04:06 > 0:04:06There is not a bigger challenge in world rugby than playing the All

0:04:06 > 0:04:10Blacks that's what the team have tonight.Scotland are trying to do

0:04:10 > 0:04:13tonight what Ireland managed to do a couple of years ago against the All

0:04:13 > 0:04:18Blacks. If they used that as the template, what is that template?I

0:04:18 > 0:04:22think the big thing Ireland did two years ago was outscored them in

0:04:22 > 0:04:29tries, 5-4. Unless it was a tap at the bar, they took it, refused any

0:04:29 > 0:04:33of the difficult kicks at goal went to the corner and scored two tries

0:04:33 > 0:04:39off that. They won penalty count, so they didn't give New Zealand a leg

0:04:39 > 0:04:44up or a look into the game. You have to go out and attack. You have to

0:04:44 > 0:04:47accept New Zealand will score tries, but you have to go out and attack

0:04:47 > 0:04:52and score tries yourself.50 or 60,000 not at Murrayfield these days

0:04:52 > 0:04:57and fireworks that add to the occasion. On the two occasions

0:04:57 > 0:05:01Scotland drew with the All Blacks it was the old days and 100,000 plus

0:05:01 > 0:05:05people on all the terraces. Stuart Wilson with a kick that would have

0:05:05 > 0:05:12won the match but it finished 0-0. In 1983, scoring in the corner,

0:05:12 > 0:05:1725-25. This was the kick Peter Dods had from the touchline to beat the

0:05:17 > 0:05:22All Blacks at Murrayfield. You think it's going over and so many people

0:05:22 > 0:05:27thought it had gone over but it just drifted wide at the last moment,

0:05:27 > 0:05:30which means we find ourselves in this position again talking about

0:05:30 > 0:05:30Scotland trying to

0:05:30 > 0:05:31this position again talking about Scotland trying to beat the All

0:05:31 > 0:05:35Blacks for the first time. Does history have any bearing from the

0:05:35 > 0:05:38All Blacks' point of view? The team out here today, apart from anything

0:05:38 > 0:05:42else, don't want to be the first New Zealand team to lose to Scotland?

0:05:42 > 0:05:46That would have been in the preparation, in the background and

0:05:46 > 0:06:00the notes. Now they are here, they will be aware of that Irish Test

0:06:00 > 0:06:02match winner. A similar environment, they are expected to win this game,

0:06:02 > 0:06:05a full house here. They will be on guard and wary of the Scotland team.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Conversely for Scotland, it's the ultimate incentive?Scotland have to

0:06:07 > 0:06:11have their best game, everyone from one to 23 has got to be a nine or

0:06:11 > 0:06:15ten out of ten to have any chance tonight. That is the test. That is

0:06:15 > 0:06:18why it is the ultimate test with the All Blacks, because you must produce

0:06:18 > 0:06:22your best performance. That's what makes it exciting. I want to see the

0:06:22 > 0:06:34likes of Finn Russell, Jonny Gray and the others to see if they can do

0:06:34 > 0:06:37it.The front five of the All Blacks is the middle. We can see the

0:06:37 > 0:06:42players in the tunnel at the moment. From the front five's point of view,

0:06:42 > 0:06:47the Scottish props especially on the bench are very inexperienced?Zander

0:06:47 > 0:06:51Fagerson is a big star of the future for Scotland. He would love to see

0:06:51 > 0:06:57him coming on for 20 minutes. He's 21 years of age. The New Zealand

0:06:57 > 0:07:00scrum has been fantastic all through the Rugby Championship, so it's

0:07:00 > 0:07:07going to be a really big challenge. Even the bench, five caps on the

0:07:07 > 0:07:11Scottish front row of the bench. It will be tough for Scotland today.

0:07:11 > 0:07:17Here come the players. Fortune favours the brave, Andy?Yes. Go out

0:07:17 > 0:07:21there and empty yourselves on this Murrayfield pitch and what will be

0:07:21 > 0:07:25will be. Let's find out how good this Scotland team, if the progress

0:07:25 > 0:07:29they've made is real, how good is it and let's see it against the best

0:07:29 > 0:07:35team in the world.Yes, it really is study but this is Real Madrid with

0:07:35 > 0:07:38an oval ball. It feels different when the All Blacks are in town. On

0:07:38 > 0:07:42occasions like this, history is always there to be made and to be

0:07:42 > 0:07:46rewritten. Which ever way you look at it, this is a gargantuan task

0:07:46 > 0:07:49facing Scotland tonight. None of this site were born when Scotland

0:07:49 > 0:07:55had that kick to win the match in 1983 and 34 years on from that, the

0:07:55 > 0:08:01playing record is stark and challenging. Played 30, lost 28,

0:08:01 > 0:08:05drawn two and not won any. At times like this you look for a quote. What

0:08:05 > 0:08:08about this... The greater the obstacle, the greater the glory in

0:08:08 > 0:08:14overcoming it. This is the Scottish team in pursuit of glory, and after

0:08:14 > 0:08:19the anthems that attempt will be described for you by Andrew Cotter.

0:11:32 > 0:11:37Commentator: The Anthems Drift Up Into A Cold November Night At

0:11:37 > 0:11:43Murrayfield. Scotland Against New Zealand. Not many meetings in recent

0:11:43 > 0:11:46times between these two, but with the All Blacks in town, there is

0:11:46 > 0:11:51always another ritual to see after the anthems. 67,000 in here, this

0:11:51 > 0:11:58was a sell out a long time ago. They are in here to watch the match and

0:11:58 > 0:12:04also for the Haka. There is always a debate about how to face the Haka.

0:12:04 > 0:12:14What do you do? But Kieran Read will lead his side in the Haka tonight

0:12:14 > 0:12:16here at Murrayfield.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05NEW ZEALAND PERFORMING THE HAKA

0:13:16 > 0:13:24It remains one of the great site in sport but Murrayfield responded with

0:13:24 > 0:13:32a chair of its own. Scotland's resources are being tested, no doubt

0:13:32 > 0:13:41about that. Zander Fagerson starts at tight head prop due to an injury.

0:13:41 > 0:13:47Stuart McInally took his chance well, two tries against Samoa.

0:13:47 > 0:13:53Cornell du Preez starts at number eight. An entirely at Glasgow affair

0:13:53 > 0:13:56at the back. Can they defend, as they will have to come against the

0:13:56 > 0:14:02best side in the world? This is how about visiting side lines up. Hooker

0:14:02 > 0:14:10Dane Coles has gone after an injury. The props Laulala and Hames, they

0:14:10 > 0:14:16destroyed France last week. Kieran Read is fit after injury. The backs'

0:14:16 > 0:14:2620 rolled as a drives in nine tests this year. Damian McKenzie is a real

0:14:26 > 0:14:31danger at full-back. Any of this backline offers a true threat to

0:14:31 > 0:14:35Scotland and how they defend is going to be crucial. Those are the

0:14:35 > 0:14:41line-ups, but now at Murrayfield on man takes centre stage. It will be a

0:14:41 > 0:14:46special moment and emotional moment of the Doddie Weir. There are his

0:14:46 > 0:14:52sons Hamish, Angus and Ben. Doddie Weir, one of Scottish rugby's

0:14:52 > 0:14:57favourite sons, and we will leave it to the Murrayfield crowd to bring

0:14:57 > 0:15:02him out into this very, very warm embrace.

0:15:04 > 0:15:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:25 > 0:15:35CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:51 > 0:16:01A moment to move us all. His diagnosis of motor neuro disease has

0:16:01 > 0:16:11been in the news. He would like to help others in the future. Doddie

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Weir...

0:16:15 > 0:16:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:16:19 > 0:16:26I must say, before kick off, behind the kindness and the humour, was an

0:16:26 > 0:16:30outstanding player. Scored two three of Scotland's three tries against

0:16:30 > 0:16:36the All Blacks in 1995. We hope he is around for a long while yet it is

0:16:36 > 0:16:40very quiet, sober suits! What a moment for Doddie Weir. We are

0:16:40 > 0:16:46ready. Matthew Carli is the referee for this one, 32 and taking charge

0:16:46 > 0:16:55of an All Blacks game for the first time. Taken by Dunbar. Around the

0:16:55 > 0:17:01neck a little bit by Crotty. Scotland in a changed scripts today

0:17:01 > 0:17:05and a perfect pitch, perfect playing conditions for both of these sites

0:17:05 > 0:17:09to entertain. McKenzie leaping. WHISTLE

0:17:09 > 0:17:17And penalty given to Scotland. And a good start for the Scots. Welcome to

0:17:17 > 0:17:25the commentary box.Great start, great box-kick, great length. For

0:17:25 > 0:17:30the New Zealand to give away the penalty. 40 yards down the pitch...

0:17:30 > 0:17:33They do the simple things really well and it can be an easy game,

0:17:33 > 0:17:38can't it, Chris?Never an easy game against these guys but a good start

0:17:38 > 0:17:44for Scotland. Here is the first opportunity to attack.McInally

0:17:44 > 0:17:48finds his captain, John Barclay, at the heart of the line-out. He is

0:17:48 > 0:17:58held in there by Romano. Scotland have improved their maul. McInally

0:17:58 > 0:18:04holding at the back and Ali Price puts it in the scrum-half. Scotland

0:18:04 > 0:18:09have to get to ground, as well. The All Blacks doing a bit. Fifita tried

0:18:09 > 0:18:14to hold up his man. The All Blacks get the scrum.Fifita did really

0:18:14 > 0:18:22well. It was an initial shunt on from Scotland. The first play was a

0:18:22 > 0:18:28fight on today, forward pack. Scotland moved the ball left to

0:18:28 > 0:18:33right but Fifita did well to defend it.You might see Ali Price get that

0:18:33 > 0:18:37out a little earlier. As soon as Fifita started to getting close to

0:18:37 > 0:18:40the ball, he has to get it out and get it away.Scotland do not want

0:18:40 > 0:18:46too many of these today. The New Zealand scrum was formidable against

0:18:46 > 0:18:51France. Scotland with an inexperienced front row. Fagerson at

0:18:51 > 0:19:03tight head. Darryl Marfo at loosehead. Marfo unable to engage

0:19:03 > 0:19:08with Laulala. The strapping on Laulala's me... Had a serious knee

0:19:08 > 0:19:10injury a couple of years ago.

0:19:13 > 0:19:18REFEREE:Listen, on the outside.

0:19:21 > 0:19:30Steve Hansen looks up. Lee Jones has to cover on this side for Scotland.

0:19:30 > 0:19:40The rest of the backline, very flat indeed.Aaron Smith feeds it in.

0:19:40 > 0:19:46Carried in by Sonny Bill Williams. Smith just gets that kick away. It

0:19:46 > 0:19:53is a good touch finder as well.Good start for Zander Fagerson, really,

0:19:53 > 0:19:58really solid scrum.Interesting what you're saying, and it's right,

0:19:58 > 0:20:04ideally he would still be developing. And Philip Nell would be

0:20:04 > 0:20:07playing... Scotland, quick with the line-out again today. Dunbar through

0:20:07 > 0:20:18the middle.Deep it goes and Hogg is through. Support from Cornell du

0:20:18 > 0:20:22Preez but spilled. Gaps appearing already. A little chip from Barrett

0:20:22 > 0:20:26and McKenzie through the middle racing onto this one. Picked up but

0:20:26 > 0:20:31perhaps coming back for the advantage... Was it over? It was.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35Hogg has to try and wrestle his opposite number, McKenzie, away.

0:20:35 > 0:20:41Jonny Gray feeds it back to Russell. Russell sees the space. Beyond

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Beauden Barrett, who just watches it. It is a bright start by

0:20:44 > 0:20:49Scotland.It was a fantastic kick. Maturity shown by Finn Russell. The

0:20:49 > 0:20:53first part of that play was excellent. Both sides really looking

0:20:53 > 0:20:58to attack. This was a set piece move. Stuart Hogg on the outside and

0:20:58 > 0:21:04Cornell du Preez doesn't tap catch it. The dangerous part of the game.

0:21:04 > 0:21:10Already, both teams moving it quickly.The average line-out takes

0:21:10 > 0:21:1420-25 seconds and Scotland and New Zealand are both trying to play some

0:21:14 > 0:21:20under ten seconds. A deliberate ploy by Townsend on Scottish ball but New

0:21:20 > 0:21:27Zealand do it as well. It will be a quick game.Great to see. Kieran

0:21:27 > 0:21:31Read, walking in and taking line-out is quickly. We saw Scotland doing it

0:21:31 > 0:21:36last week and it worked really well. McInally, a bit more leisurely this

0:21:36 > 0:21:40time. Scotland with the attack again. Once more stepping through,

0:21:40 > 0:21:44Hogg, but this time Barrett gets to him. No prop in front of Hogg this

0:21:44 > 0:21:54time. Russell shimmying left and right. Jonny Gray tumbles forward.

0:21:54 > 0:22:03Once more, the white shirts. A bit of space in front of the Scottish

0:22:03 > 0:22:07backs now. Jones tries to make something of that.

0:22:09 > 0:22:17This time it is Hamish Watson, and Barclay off-loads nicely to Price.

0:22:17 > 0:22:24Wonderful off-load, and the tackle on McInally. Russell. And now Jones

0:22:24 > 0:22:29into the All Blacks' 22. Quick ball, penalty coming to Scotland. McInally

0:22:29 > 0:22:33picks it up, out it goes to Hugh Jones. Advantage to Scotland.

0:22:33 > 0:22:39WHISTLE The pace continues to remain brisk

0:22:39 > 0:22:45to say the least have the penalty. Great ambition from Scotland. Some

0:22:45 > 0:22:49lovely off-loading, some really direct carrying. We worry sometimes

0:22:49 > 0:22:52about the Scottish pack, do they have the powerful carriers New

0:22:52 > 0:22:56Zealand have? If you look at Hamish Watson with his first carry,

0:22:56 > 0:23:02punching way above his weight.A really good start. It is the

0:23:02 > 0:23:05contrast, Jones fighting every single inch through the tackle. So

0:23:05 > 0:23:09important, the clearer. Scotland were good in the opening 20 minutes

0:23:09 > 0:23:21against Samoa last week in and around the contact, making sure the

0:23:21 > 0:23:23ball can be played quickly. Off-loading as well, hand to hand.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25Jonny Gray kept the ball alive there. The interesting thing,

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Scotland are being direct, as well as playing with what width.

0:23:27 > 0:23:33Sometimes they are bit lateral.Finn Russell, first kick of the match.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36CHEERING And it is good from Russell.

0:23:36 > 0:23:41Scotland have believed. Which they deserve from the opening few

0:23:41 > 0:23:45minutes.Great pressure from Scotland as well. That kick from

0:23:45 > 0:23:50Finn Russell which puts Scotland, puts New Zealand into their own 22,

0:23:50 > 0:23:56puts them under pressure and can cause mistakes.This is an area

0:23:56 > 0:24:00where Scotland were not happy last week against Samoa, the restarts.

0:24:00 > 0:24:07They are so important to the modern game. Just fade out the music...

0:24:10 > 0:24:24And just taken by Hugh Jones. Jones does well. Scotland again. Moving

0:24:24 > 0:24:30forward with a bit odd sip. Stuart Hogg. The All Blacks dealing with

0:24:30 > 0:24:40that danger. The referee says "Use it". Ali Price sends up the box-kick

0:24:40 > 0:24:46and Barrett comes forward to claim this one and does it well. So the

0:24:46 > 0:24:50All Blacks with a chance and Smith gives it to Laulala.

0:24:53 > 0:25:01Carried in by Crotty. Cries of turnover, hope for cries from the

0:25:01 > 0:25:08Scottish players. Smith feeds in again. Scotland promised their line

0:25:08 > 0:25:12speed would be faster today and it might be a little bit too fast...

0:25:12 > 0:25:16Rosol so nearly in for the interception! WHISTLE

0:25:16 > 0:25:23The white jerseys were flying up. The pressure on defence. First Apple

0:25:23 > 0:25:29was excellent and then allows the defence to keeps that. Aaron Smith,

0:25:29 > 0:25:32we can see him here. He runs and carries the ball a little bit,

0:25:32 > 0:25:38allows Scotland to come up. Russell can't quite keep a hold of it.That

0:25:38 > 0:25:41is the line speed you need, you need to put them under pressure. We saw

0:25:41 > 0:25:45it with the Lions in the summer. Get off the line, don't give them time

0:25:45 > 0:25:49and space to run at you and to off-load.And you need everyone to

0:25:49 > 0:25:57do that. Individuals doing that creates gaps.

0:25:58 > 0:26:06This is the steepest learning curve for Darryl Marfo in his second cap

0:26:06 > 0:26:11and Fagerson. The far side is down but the referee happy for it to go

0:26:11 > 0:26:20on. Barrett now, straight through the middle goes Crotty. A boot is

0:26:20 > 0:26:24lost but the All Blacks coming... McKenzie chasing their kick of

0:26:24 > 0:26:30Barrett. Into the arms of Hogg and clears it. Does it bounce the right

0:26:30 > 0:26:35way? It does, and the crowd give a chair.Super kick from Stuart Hogg.

0:26:35 > 0:26:43This is a difficult line-out to exit five metres from your line. The

0:26:43 > 0:26:47pressure line-out for Taylor, not the first choice hooker.The big

0:26:47 > 0:26:54thing is not to give it to them easily. Put them under pressure.

0:26:54 > 0:26:59A shortened line-out for New Zealand. REFEREE:Nowhere near that

0:26:59 > 0:27:07line.Kieran Read, the captain, gathers safely. Smith. New Zealand

0:27:07 > 0:27:11will try and buy themselves a few yards. The blindside flanker... And

0:27:11 > 0:27:19Smith gets the kick away. And that is a pretty good exit. Lee Jones, no

0:27:19 > 0:27:23thoughts of a quick line-out there. Just outside the 22, Scotland will

0:27:23 > 0:27:27stop up the pressure.Just hesitating because they think they

0:27:27 > 0:27:32may go quickly again. It looks like the Scotland guys are slowing the

0:27:32 > 0:27:37tempo, and rightly, they have control of the match. The turnout

0:27:37 > 0:27:42can apply more pressure on New Zealand.McInally to Jonny Gray. A

0:27:42 > 0:27:47bit of pressure from Fifita but he got away. Hamish Watson ships out to

0:27:47 > 0:27:54McInally. Scotland again born to play with. A bit of space. Huw Jones

0:27:54 > 0:28:02tries to slip it out to see and Seymour has to stand strong. A swarm

0:28:02 > 0:28:06of black shirts around. A little chip from Price, watched by McKenzie

0:28:06 > 0:28:13out on the full. It's interesting, isn't it...? You want to play a

0:28:13 > 0:28:16quick game but there has to be an element of control and it's knowing

0:28:16 > 0:28:21when to play the quick game.The balance is really important and not

0:28:21 > 0:28:25forcing the off-loads. New Zealand with a quick line-out, where doing

0:28:25 > 0:28:30what Scotland didn't do them.Fifita really is a hugely powerful unit.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32WHISTLE Scotland have the penalty again,

0:28:32 > 0:28:40though.Super poach from John Barclay. We saw that in the second

0:28:40 > 0:28:43test with Sam Warburton on the Lions, pressuring the New Zealand

0:28:43 > 0:28:47ball and slowing it down. Those penalties are going to be vital

0:28:47 > 0:28:53today.Yes, 45 metres out. That man is so effective. It comes after

0:28:53 > 0:28:59Hamish Watson makes a low tackle. Such a small window of opportunity

0:28:59 > 0:29:04to get in there. You can see his studs digging in the ground, pushing

0:29:04 > 0:29:08against the forthcoming against him and winning the turnover.Very clear

0:29:08 > 0:29:14picture to the referee that it was legal.Scarlets will be sorry to

0:29:14 > 0:29:19seem go at the end of the season, is heading to Edinburgh, John Barclay.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23His work there has secured the penalty. Finn Russell from 48

0:29:23 > 0:29:28metres. He has plenty of distance in his boots we spoke about Ireland in

0:29:28 > 0:29:32Chicago before the game, I don't want to keep going on about it,

0:29:32 > 0:29:35but...Ireland refused these opportunities, they went to the

0:29:35 > 0:29:39corner because they wanted to score tries.That wasn't far away but it

0:29:39 > 0:29:47drifts past.

0:29:47 > 0:29:51The perceived wisdom is you need beat the All Blacks because they

0:29:51 > 0:29:55will score tries. That was the right decision to go further three.

0:29:58 > 0:30:02In the context of the game, yes, they've had quite a lot of good

0:30:02 > 0:30:06possession and chipping away at the scoreboard can affect things

0:30:06 > 0:30:17psychologically.Plenty of height from Barrett and a bit of friendly

0:30:17 > 0:30:20fire collision, two Scottish players coming together but laid-back by

0:30:20 > 0:30:30Seymour. And then Toolis, Brisbane born, against his familiar foe.

0:30:30 > 0:30:35Russell feeds Hogg who dances around the black shirts and finds space

0:30:35 > 0:30:41again, so dangerous. Shipped out by Du Preez. The penalty this time goes

0:30:41 > 0:30:48to the All Blacks as Jones tried to get it back.Very good perch by Cane

0:30:48 > 0:30:52and the urgency of the Scottish to get up to the ruck has been

0:30:52 > 0:30:56excellent, the New Zealanders haven't got near any of the rock

0:30:56 > 0:31:01balls. The need to maintain the urgency every time -- the ruck. Many

0:31:01 > 0:31:05good poachers in the New Zealand team.Quite a lot of turnovers

0:31:05 > 0:31:09happen on the outside channels when the ball carrier can get a bit of

0:31:09 > 0:31:12space and getting behind. It is important to players, if you are

0:31:12 > 0:31:18playing a wide brand of rugby, know their role and keep it in the game

0:31:18 > 0:31:23and Sam Cane did that well defensively. Fatso stick body

0:31:23 > 0:31:28position and Lee Jones can't do anything else.Quick line-out by the

0:31:28 > 0:31:31All Blacks, so into the Scottish half, and Barrett getting deeper

0:31:31 > 0:31:38into the half, Reid picks and goes, Marfo around him and there is Corey

0:31:38 > 0:31:45Taylor. The black jerseys arrive so quickly and in number around the

0:31:45 > 0:31:55breakdown. McKenzie tries to skip his way around Huw Jones. New

0:31:55 > 0:31:58Zealand beginning to threaten. Luke Romano held up and stripped by

0:31:58 > 0:32:05Hamish Watson, so, so powerful. The crowd realise now as the ball goes

0:32:05 > 0:32:13loose.Super play by Hamish Watson. He was going to get a scrum anyway,

0:32:13 > 0:32:18he turned the tackle into it maul but also ripped the ball clear.The

0:32:18 > 0:32:24frustration of the knock-on their after.Two different strategies in

0:32:24 > 0:32:27defence, the first turnover, Barclay got in after a low tackle and this

0:32:27 > 0:32:32is the choke tackle. Pauley knows all about this. Two or three players

0:32:32 > 0:32:37holding the attacker up, clear roles, the one person on the ball

0:32:37 > 0:32:42was Hamish Watson that time. He is a fantastic player, very strong.

0:32:42 > 0:32:49People are surprised when they see Hamish Watson, some people are

0:32:49 > 0:32:52surprised when they see him for the first time, marvelling at his

0:32:52 > 0:32:55strength, people might think he is too small to play international

0:32:55 > 0:32:58rugby.He is a bit like Hooper, nobody talks about his size now

0:32:58 > 0:33:04because they know how strong and powerful he is. Hamish Watson

0:33:04 > 0:33:09establishing that reputation now. Massive scrum, New Zealand probably

0:33:09 > 0:33:15haven't been attacking Scotland up to now. This is a big scrum.Yes, we

0:33:15 > 0:33:24appreciate Watson for the strip. Decent size blindside at all of the

0:33:24 > 0:33:31backs are lined up for the blindside.The last attacking scrum

0:33:31 > 0:33:38Crotty found a good angle. Sonny Bill Williams has moved into the 13

0:33:38 > 0:33:41position and Ryan Crotty at 12. That this picture always painted against

0:33:41 > 0:33:50the best teams in the world, always making you think.Matthew Carley

0:33:50 > 0:33:53waiting until he is entirely happy with things.

0:33:56 > 0:34:03REFEREE:Spacing on both sides, please.The first real chance the

0:34:03 > 0:34:06All Blacks have had but historically they are very good at taking their

0:34:06 > 0:34:09chances that they are presented with.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18Not think too much given in the scrum but the centres combined in

0:34:18 > 0:34:23the middle and Sonny Bill Williams on the ball and now they move it and

0:34:23 > 0:34:27Codie Taylor with a bit of a carry from the hooker but he is hit hard

0:34:27 > 0:34:31by Fagerson and company command out it goes. Scotland pouring forward in

0:34:31 > 0:34:37defence. New Zealand just waiting for a gap until the ball hits the

0:34:37 > 0:34:41deck but gathered in by Luke Murano, good work by the second row and the

0:34:41 > 0:34:47penalty goes to Scotland after the work on the deck -- Luke Romano.

0:34:47 > 0:34:51Scotland doing well.John Barclay's enthusiasm and appetite to lead the

0:34:51 > 0:34:56line at speed and as Chris said the team is following him. With line

0:34:56 > 0:35:00speed, not just one guy shooting out of line, four or five guys up,

0:35:00 > 0:35:05forcing a mistake and a penalty.You both captained your countries. I

0:35:05 > 0:35:10don't know if you divide a game into quarters and say, if I can focus on

0:35:10 > 0:35:13to this quarter and then move onto the next, and at this moment moving

0:35:13 > 0:35:20on to 20 minutes Scotland are in a good position. McInally again. Once

0:35:20 > 0:35:22more it is Barclay.

0:35:28 > 0:35:36Not going anywhere, now it is at the second attempt, Scotland have a go

0:35:36 > 0:35:45but it's becoming detached. Another penalty for Scotland. Three black is

0:35:45 > 0:35:51the Chiefs' tight head, Nepo Laulala.Scotland are very

0:35:51 > 0:35:54comfortable on their own ball in the line-out, excellent ball drawing the

0:35:54 > 0:36:00penalty. This is good to see. You have got to do this, you've got to

0:36:00 > 0:36:05take them on and play and try and score.Especially with how composed

0:36:05 > 0:36:08the maul was, they were under pressure and looked static and they

0:36:08 > 0:36:14knew the space was on the right-hand side of the maul to go forward, good

0:36:14 > 0:36:18decision.The crowd certainly appreciate it, New Zealand, five

0:36:18 > 0:36:21penalties, quick line-out, Fagerson takes it on the charge and Scotland

0:36:21 > 0:36:25within five metres, the ball is still there. Price looking to his

0:36:25 > 0:36:30forwards. Barclay. Beauden Barrett tried to hold up his mind but is

0:36:30 > 0:36:36told to release. Price to mar folk, thumped into Whitelock and Masoe

0:36:36 > 0:36:40going sideways and then forwards a little bit. Jonny Gray. Fagerson

0:36:40 > 0:36:45waiting and takes it at a standstill, trundling on at the five

0:36:45 > 0:36:53metre line. Once more holding Scotland, once more they come, and

0:36:53 > 0:36:58the roar of noise inside Murrayfield. Jonny Gray. Price

0:36:58 > 0:37:03points the way and then goes the other, it goes wide to Finn Russell

0:37:03 > 0:37:06and the slip by Huw Jones and Russell gathers it in but the chance

0:37:06 > 0:37:14has gone. But penalty to New Zealand, offside, so they will have

0:37:14 > 0:37:20an easy exit from their own try line. Close but no cigar.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23Frustrating skill error from Scotland, it was the right decision

0:37:23 > 0:37:26after the hard work and hard yards made upfront, sweeping down the

0:37:26 > 0:37:30blindside. It was the right decision in the space to attack but

0:37:30 > 0:37:34unfortunately Huw Jones couldn't keep hold of the ball.Very slow

0:37:34 > 0:37:39attack by Scotland, four or five seconds at every rock. Fair enough,

0:37:39 > 0:37:43you can pick and go but it needs to happen much quicker than it is --

0:37:43 > 0:37:50the ruck.The attacker needs to be quicker away from the breakdown.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53This was the New Zealand defenders sliding out, shoulders and hips

0:37:53 > 0:37:57turned, trying to come back on the hard-line and looking at a

0:37:57 > 0:38:00possession now is the key.Taking quick from New Zealand at the

0:38:00 > 0:38:05line-out now, spilled but now the attack, Aaron Smith gives it out

0:38:05 > 0:38:08wide and Ioane tries to give it to Smith and Smith into touch but the

0:38:08 > 0:38:13ball goes to Jonny Gray and a high tackle on Jonny Gray around his

0:38:13 > 0:38:17shoulder and neck, says the referee. So there is still a penalty

0:38:17 > 0:38:21advantage. It is a free attack, still advantage. Stuart Hall almost

0:38:21 > 0:38:30threw. And Romano got to him eventually. But penalty advantage.

0:38:30 > 0:38:38Haven't heard that it's still alive. They are asking the question if it

0:38:38 > 0:38:43is, or if the advantages over. Scotland's attack, are folk straight

0:38:43 > 0:38:51into Kieran Read. Price. New Zealand have set their defence. Haag, little

0:38:51 > 0:39:00juggle from Russell, down the cluttered side. Onto Fagerson. So

0:39:00 > 0:39:06often the ball carrier. Price eventually puts boot on ball and

0:39:06 > 0:39:11seized the space and it's judged well.Excellent kit, similar to the

0:39:11 > 0:39:15one that just carried a little too far and went into touch before but

0:39:15 > 0:39:22that's the confidence Price has, he knew the space was in behind,

0:39:22 > 0:39:25Scotland going forward, but keep applying the pressure with a left

0:39:25 > 0:39:32foot.It is so clever, isn't it? So clever. Playing the game in the New

0:39:32 > 0:39:35Zealand 22 is the best place to play the game. They have a really good

0:39:35 > 0:39:39defensive line-out as well, Scotland. If they can get after some

0:39:39 > 0:39:45of these balls, get after the young hooker.Shorter line-out as well,

0:39:45 > 0:39:49clutching it with his fingertips and onto Fifita. The knee into the

0:39:49 > 0:39:55challenge there. Such long limbs but a powerful figure. The juggle from

0:39:55 > 0:40:04Tommy Seymour, and it all goes horribly wrong for the winner, the

0:40:04 > 0:40:10winger.Stretching for that but what about the tackle from Stuart

0:40:10 > 0:40:17McInally prior to that, Fifita running hard.Not hanging around in

0:40:17 > 0:40:24the line-outs, New Zealand. Corey Taylor is now not sure of the

0:40:24 > 0:40:32instruction. -- Codie Taylor. Down from Cane. The All Blacks attack

0:40:32 > 0:40:41once again. Lovely off-load it was from Ioane.Advantage ten, offside.

0:40:41 > 0:40:44Advantage to the All Blacks. Finn Russell offside but they have the

0:40:44 > 0:40:49attack now, Codie Taylor taken down in the 22.Penalty advantage in the

0:40:49 > 0:40:55middle. New advantage. New advantage to the All Blacks. So,

0:40:55 > 0:40:58penalty coming, Sonny Bill Williams gets it away and Ryan Crotty carries

0:40:58 > 0:41:02and New Zealand threatening again. The ball is available! Still

0:41:02 > 0:41:10advantage.Barrett with a long pass out to Naholo, nothing doing,

0:41:10 > 0:41:15forward pass, so back they come.In the middle on the 22 or over on the

0:41:15 > 0:41:23far side at the last breakdown.So, the two penalty offences in two

0:41:23 > 0:41:28different places.You would love to see the Scottish line-out defence

0:41:28 > 0:41:33making New Zealand when the ball a little big closer to the five metre

0:41:33 > 0:41:37line but they win the ball very far back towards the end of the 15 and

0:41:37 > 0:41:40it becomes very hard to defend and you put the likes of Finn Russell

0:41:40 > 0:41:45Lance Dunbar under pressure defensively with the likes of Ioane

0:41:45 > 0:41:50and Sonny Bill Williams running at them.That is a new law, two

0:41:50 > 0:41:54penalties and you get the choice. It's quite interesting to take the

0:41:54 > 0:41:58one closer to the touchline rather than take the guaranteed three

0:41:58 > 0:42:03points. I think the All Blacks have a bit of momentum.It will be

0:42:03 > 0:42:05interesting here now because Scotland have been in this position

0:42:05 > 0:42:11in this game already, fail to take their opportunity. It is a big

0:42:11 > 0:42:23moment.Scotland had their chance from this position.

0:42:23 > 0:42:27The All Blacks complaining loudly twice. Cane comes forward, Du Preez

0:42:27 > 0:42:32will be off to be patched up shortly but they have to defend this first.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35Cane going around, great strength from the man, almost bouncing off

0:42:35 > 0:42:46the tackle. Price continues to back away at the referee. Barclay in

0:42:46 > 0:42:55there. Pick and go, New Zealand getting closer now. Hames at

0:42:55 > 0:43:06loosehead still going. Two metres from the line. There is the pick and

0:43:06 > 0:43:12go up to the line but still just short, so Smith feeds it out,

0:43:12 > 0:43:14Whitelock, and Whitelock cannot quite unfurl his giant body to the

0:43:14 > 0:43:23line. Smith again gives it out wide, little pass and Crotty was looking

0:43:23 > 0:43:28for it, forward pass, says the referee. Great defence by Scotland,

0:43:28 > 0:43:32Stuart Hogg whipping up the crowd. The big moment for Scotland, to be

0:43:32 > 0:43:38able to defend the five metre Drive, to be able to defend five or six

0:43:38 > 0:43:52phases at the line, just marginally forward. This is another big scrum.

0:43:52 > 0:43:56It's the Scotland scrum but doesn't mean a leisurely clearance at all

0:43:56 > 0:44:03because the All Blacks have been put under a huge amount of pressure.If

0:44:03 > 0:44:09your guys keep the space I will speed them up, OK?Sorry.I'm sure

0:44:09 > 0:44:15he regrets his behaviour.He is really sorry, isn't he?You still

0:44:15 > 0:44:20have to get out, close your line, knocks and bumps and a huge

0:44:20 > 0:44:23defensive effort from Scotland, New Zealand working hard, Whitelock with

0:44:23 > 0:44:28a couple of huge carries. There will be one or two bumps and bruises and

0:44:28 > 0:44:32time to settle now.Very different performance to last week from

0:44:32 > 0:44:43Scotland. There ruck is fantastic and the urgency at the ruck and

0:44:43 > 0:44:49cleaning out, and defensively they have made some great hits. New

0:44:49 > 0:44:53Zealand are the best team in the world at the tactical kicking game.

0:44:53 > 0:44:57Scotland have done brilliantly as well in the first half an hour.

0:44:57 > 0:45:01James Robinson taping up Cornell du Preez, who is in for Ryan Wilson,

0:45:01 > 0:45:06the South African born number eight, who plays in Edinburgh. James Robson

0:45:06 > 0:45:12has patched up a few players in his time.The two of us sitting here.

0:45:12 > 0:45:19Incredible Doctor. The best in this game. The weakest area of Scotland's

0:45:19 > 0:45:22defence, or the area where they conceded most tries last week was

0:45:22 > 0:45:27the area around the breakdown and that was all in and around the

0:45:27 > 0:45:32breakdown for New Zealand. That was an improvement. Matt Taylor, the

0:45:32 > 0:45:36Scottish defenders coach will be happy.Going back to the game in

0:45:36 > 0:45:401995 in the World Cup I mentioned, that was one of the best Scottish

0:45:40 > 0:45:44performances, it was a great All Blacks side, even managed to hold

0:45:44 > 0:45:51Jonah Lomu, two tries for Doddie Weir.Yes, it was in Pretoria at the

0:45:51 > 0:45:58quarterfinal, Andrew Mehrtens scored from deep in his own half to level

0:45:58 > 0:46:02the game. Doddie Weir is an incredible figure. A big loss,

0:46:02 > 0:46:07apologies to Luke Hamilton saying it was Hamish Watson who went off, it

0:46:07 > 0:46:11wasn't, Luke Hamilton on for his first cap, Welsh born, Scottish

0:46:11 > 0:46:14father, plays at Leicester, been very impressive in the Premiership,

0:46:14 > 0:46:19but a sad sight for Hamish Watson. He is going off after such break,

0:46:19 > 0:46:23great work at the breakdown. Real opportunity for Hamilton. Free kick

0:46:23 > 0:46:38to Scotland.Scotland don't even have to scrum, they give the ball to

0:46:38 > 0:46:42Hogg and they should put this close to the halfway line. That's not too

0:46:42 > 0:46:54bad.So, McKenzie sends it high. Stuart Hogg taken out by Waisake

0:46:54 > 0:47:03Naholo and the crowd is booing. It doesn't look great for Naholo.

0:47:03 > 0:47:08Again, sometimes this is just a matter of timing. There is an malice

0:47:08 > 0:47:18or intent, but that's not the issue now. Listen in. REFEREE: OK, David.

0:47:18 > 0:47:23He is going to look at it.I'm going to show you the players off the

0:47:23 > 0:47:29ground when he is tackled, OK?OK.

0:47:34 > 0:47:38Again, you watch on replay in slow motion, I think Naholo was almost

0:47:38 > 0:47:43blindsided by Ali Price and he was trying to get there and got confused

0:47:43 > 0:47:46about timings. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt.I don't think

0:47:46 > 0:47:53there is any intent but he has hit him in the air, 100%. What the

0:47:53 > 0:47:58referee is looking for is whether there is any attempt to catch the

0:47:58 > 0:48:05ball. Ali Price got between them. But he's not between him and the

0:48:05 > 0:48:11ball.This doesn't look good for Naholo. REFEREE:That's all the

0:48:11 > 0:48:15angles we have.The players in the air and intentionally him in the

0:48:15 > 0:48:22air?Correct.From that, I'm giving him a yellow card?Your thinking for

0:48:22 > 0:48:29that is?Yellow card.I think the TMO is thinking stronger.Yellow

0:48:29 > 0:48:35card is fine, do you want to check if it is a penalty?OK. So it is a

0:48:35 > 0:48:42yellow card and nodding along sign me -- alongside me. Naholo doesn't

0:48:42 > 0:48:47know it's going to be a yellow card. I'm not sure the TMO would know

0:48:47 > 0:48:55either. The ref Remus control the situation -- the referee must

0:48:55 > 0:48:59control the situation.He is in his way and had to move around him.I

0:48:59 > 0:49:02mentioned Ali Price was in the way and so it might be a penalty only

0:49:02 > 0:49:09rather than a card.We have a tackling of the player in the air,

0:49:09 > 0:49:13OK? But we have your nine who moved across which is an extenuating

0:49:13 > 0:49:17circumstance because you had to move him so he couldn't judge so it is a

0:49:17 > 0:49:22penalty only because it is a tackle in the air.Be careful. Barclay

0:49:22 > 0:49:25disagrees and the crowd certainly voicing disapproval.I would

0:49:25 > 0:49:29disagree, I thought yellow card was the right option. I don't think

0:49:29 > 0:49:35there was any malice, there was a tackle in the air and according to

0:49:35 > 0:49:38the guidelines the referee must control the situation and he should

0:49:38 > 0:49:42have stuck to his guns and given a yellow card.I think a yellow card

0:49:42 > 0:49:46would have been right, it could have been worse but definitely ate a

0:49:46 > 0:49:49yellow card.Into strange the rugby was now but if Stuart Hogg had

0:49:49 > 0:49:52landed on his head or his shoulder then that would have been worse

0:49:52 > 0:49:57because it is all outcome based. But anyway, we move on, and quickly both

0:49:57 > 0:50:01sides have a full consummate and Russell giving it deep to Lee Jones

0:50:01 > 0:50:04who is skipping through into the 22, and Scotland on the front foot

0:50:04 > 0:50:06again.

0:50:12 > 0:50:16Carried in by Barclay, Toolis lending his weight. Masoe had to

0:50:16 > 0:50:22take it just standing for it but does well. -- Marfo. Hamilton

0:50:22 > 0:50:28pouring in, and the of McInally, Scotland as McInally takes three

0:50:28 > 0:50:36white shirts. Playback by Du Preez but it went loose.

0:50:36 > 0:50:42You went off your feet first! Good work by Price to secure it to

0:50:42 > 0:50:51the forwards, step in and carry a Yarde or two. Just burrowing forward

0:50:51 > 0:51:00at the moment. The pace slows just for a moment. Toolis. Marfo, he has

0:51:00 > 0:51:16been so busy. Just inching, edging, Price. Goes to the forwards again.

0:51:16 > 0:51:25Once more Marfo hits the line at pace but good defence comes in on

0:51:25 > 0:51:29him, Laulala thumping him back. Jonny Gray sends it back, fierce

0:51:29 > 0:51:34competition on the ground again, good counter ruck by the All Blacks.

0:51:34 > 0:51:3914 phases and Scotland not making much ground. Russell giving it wide

0:51:39 > 0:51:45to Hogg, clear ground in front of Hogg, taken down well by Ryan

0:51:45 > 0:51:51Crotty.Step back! Step back! Scotland getting closer now.

0:51:51 > 0:51:55Hamilton scrambling on on his debut. Hamilton up to within five metres

0:51:55 > 0:52:04and Scotland need the patience, but also the pace. Cornell du Preez. And

0:52:04 > 0:52:11then the spill in phase number 18, Fagerson on the charge. So it will

0:52:11 > 0:52:16end with an All Blacks scrum. So much to talk about, the intent and

0:52:16 > 0:52:20the endeavour but it all ends in a New Zealand scrum.The intent and

0:52:20 > 0:52:27the endeavour is excellent, you can hear Ali Price shouting. The ball is

0:52:27 > 0:52:32a tiny bit too slow, given New Zealand too much time to settle.

0:52:32 > 0:52:35These guys are technically fantastic tacklers. If you give them time to

0:52:35 > 0:52:39get set, get ready and get off the line they are going to hit you hard

0:52:39 > 0:52:44and get off the line and knock you back. They need to speed up.That

0:52:44 > 0:52:46was the final play, Fagerson trying to bring tempo running onto the

0:52:46 > 0:52:51possession but you almost felt that as the phases went up and up the New

0:52:51 > 0:52:55Zealand defence got stronger and stronger and it was unlikely the

0:52:55 > 0:52:58Scotswood breakthrough.Just to update you on the injury of Hamish

0:52:58 > 0:53:01Watson, we understand it is a back injury and Darryl Marfo is having

0:53:01 > 0:53:08treatment so we might see Jamie Bhatti, the Glasgow prop shortly.

0:53:08 > 0:53:14Darryl Marfo looks OK although that is to a very untrained eye.Darryl

0:53:14 > 0:53:21Marfo has been one of the forwards who has been busy in the game. Heavy

0:53:21 > 0:53:28strapping going on his left ankle. So, who had Scotland 3-0 up after

0:53:28 > 0:53:32half an hour? We expected a higher scoring affair. But it's not for

0:53:32 > 0:53:36lack of trying. You said the intensity has been great from

0:53:36 > 0:53:42Scotland, Paul.And they are playing in the right parts of the field.

0:53:42 > 0:53:47That's really important. Their line-out looks pretty untouchable.

0:53:47 > 0:53:51And the scrum has been excellent as well. In fairness to the front row

0:53:51 > 0:53:55of Marfo, McInally and Fagerson, they have stood up well to the New

0:53:55 > 0:53:57Zealand scrum.They have matched them physically as well, which is

0:53:57 > 0:54:03the first port of call in and around the contact, the tackle and

0:54:03 > 0:54:07breakdown.Fagerson will have been grateful for that break because you

0:54:07 > 0:54:12do Simic carrying and then have to command anchor the scrum -- so much

0:54:12 > 0:54:18carrying. Trying to put the squeeze on the All Blacks put in.That's

0:54:18 > 0:54:23enough.Down it goes, penalty to be All Blacks and that was Fagerson

0:54:23 > 0:54:24penalised.

0:54:33 > 0:54:42It is such a disappointing... Such a disappointing outcome to the scrum.

0:54:42 > 0:54:45New Zealand will probably kick it out 30 metres from their line and it

0:54:45 > 0:54:51will be a Scottish line-out instead. The ball goes out here around the 40

0:54:51 > 0:54:54and New Zealand will be on the attack. One of the things I'd like

0:54:54 > 0:54:58to see from the Scottish line-out, if they lose their line-out, push

0:54:58 > 0:55:04New Zealand to the front, don't let them win it far back near the 15.

0:55:04 > 0:55:09That's great pressure.It falls kindly for Smith and onto Barrett.

0:55:09 > 0:55:13They carry once more in midfield. Smith gives it deeper to Barrett

0:55:13 > 0:55:20this time. It is a well-placed kick. The pressure coming in from Ioane

0:55:20 > 0:55:24and Tommy Seymour. And out it goes, and quickly hurled in by Hogg.

0:55:24 > 0:55:26WHISTLE

0:55:32 > 0:55:35Coming back for a knock-on, was it?

0:55:40 > 0:55:44I couldn't figure out why he had stopped that but the obvious answer

0:55:44 > 0:55:50was it wasn't verbal.That is a glitch in the system. So, New

0:55:50 > 0:55:56Zealand on the attack again. Again, the tackle has come in, the

0:55:56 > 0:56:00advantage.Just a knock-on, advantage over.The chip through

0:56:00 > 0:56:06from Smith. And see more watching, watching. That almost grazed him as

0:56:06 > 0:56:13he was watching that but he rots it down. I thought he touched it.Take

0:56:13 > 0:56:18it back, touched his leg.It looked like it hit him, it definitely

0:56:18 > 0:56:24looked like it hit him. Silly bit of play.Tommy Seymour has now had a

0:56:24 > 0:56:30couple of moments in this match where he has cost quite a bit of

0:56:30 > 0:56:37distance.Great spot now. That was the advantage of having legs like

0:56:37 > 0:56:41mine, that wouldn't have happened, I wouldn't have a thigh muscle big

0:56:41 > 0:56:47enough.That was a big mistake by Seymour. This really is pressure now

0:56:47 > 0:56:56in the final six minutes of this first half.

0:57:02 > 0:57:07The short side to worry about as well, there is a hole on the

0:57:07 > 0:57:13right-hand side.Drifting over to the blindside. It is a good scrum by

0:57:13 > 0:57:17the All Blacks putting on the pressure and Read holding on the

0:57:17 > 0:57:22back, Scotland in disarray, penalty coming. I am sure they will take the

0:57:22 > 0:57:29scrum again.Yes. They really want to keep it in. Basins from the last

0:57:29 > 0:57:33scrum when they got the penalty that they may have the upper hand. The

0:57:33 > 0:57:36shame of this is they don't need to be here. They really don't need to

0:57:36 > 0:57:41be. Just a silly mistake. Even when it touched Seymour's leg, he should

0:57:41 > 0:57:46have realised the referee will spot it and picked it up and kicked it

0:57:46 > 0:57:52out. Line-out outside the 22 but at least they wouldn't defend a five

0:57:52 > 0:57:54metre scrum putting their front five under a lot of pressure, the

0:57:54 > 0:58:02backline.It's interesting, the pathway through, the passage of the

0:58:02 > 0:58:06scrum, the New Zealand line when things didn't go wrong, a penalty

0:58:06 > 0:58:10and suddenly down here.You can't accumulate errors like that.

0:58:15 > 0:58:25Just about ready to go again. Scotland stalking the defensive line

0:58:25 > 0:58:27on the blindside. Naholo threatens again.

0:58:31 > 0:58:38Russell trying to offer Jones some company there. Into the final five

0:58:38 > 0:58:44minutes. Scotland's scrum feeling the pressure again and again

0:58:44 > 0:58:50wheeling round. Out it goes, Ali Price comes away with it, Luke

0:58:50 > 0:58:53Hamilton smashes into Barrett. The All Blacks wondering how they lost

0:58:53 > 0:58:57the ball at that scrum, Russell steps around one man, he sends the

0:58:57 > 0:59:04ball flying. But to McKenzie. The crowd falls silent. McKenzie with

0:59:04 > 0:59:15open space and Naholo. So, New Zealand get a chance to attack again

0:59:15 > 0:59:18but from deeper. Slip tackle, Ioane away, bouncing off one man and up to

0:59:18 > 0:59:25the ten metre line, great work by the winter stomach

0:59:25 > 0:59:36-- winger. New Zealand deep into the Scottish half again. Fifita now. He

0:59:36 > 0:59:43can move but white shirts quickly get on him. Good handling from

0:59:43 > 0:59:47Laulala to find his man but advantage to New Zealand. The

0:59:47 > 0:59:52penalty is there. You can hear what the Murrayfield crowd thinks of

0:59:52 > 0:59:58that.I'm pretty sure his hands were on the ground before he went for the

0:59:58 > 1:00:05ball. The referee did shout, "Get your hands off." That is a skill in

1:00:05 > 1:00:10itself, to be able to get on the ball and listen to the referee, get

1:00:10 > 1:00:14out of there, so you slow it down a bit to make a difference to their

1:00:14 > 1:00:16attack but don't give away the penalty. You don't want to be giving

1:00:16 > 1:00:23away these three points easily. He is an experienced player but I

1:00:23 > 1:00:29wondered if he heard the referee. Maybe he has a point.The only thing

1:00:29 > 1:00:33I would say is the New Zealand players blocking access to the ball

1:00:33 > 1:00:40by lying on top of the ball.This was the scrum, the second of the two

1:00:40 > 1:00:45scrums and the ball popped out of the side and Ali Price was the first

1:00:45 > 1:00:50to react and hit hard by the No 10 Beauden Barrett. And then it settles

1:00:50 > 1:00:53down with a penalty for Beauden Barrett, his first attempt,

1:00:53 > 1:00:57interesting decision to go for the goal, I think it's the right one.

1:00:57 > 1:01:03The pressure on both sides in this game.Some stadiums do silent for

1:01:03 > 1:01:06kicks, Murrayfield has not historically been one of those soap

1:01:06 > 1:01:08Beauden Barrett might have a backing track.

1:01:17 > 1:01:25Again, I think kickers prefer that, silence is more intimidating. New

1:01:25 > 1:01:34Zealand have their first points. It is all tied up. Even the chap in

1:01:34 > 1:01:38front of Steve Hansen on his mobile phone is shaking his head. The

1:01:38 > 1:01:43restart is long, Smith takes it well. Straight through goes Fifita

1:01:43 > 1:01:48now. Again, picks up those giant legs. Ali Price gets on him, just,

1:01:48 > 1:01:54and then it comes off Dunbar into touch.Such a powerful runner,

1:01:54 > 1:02:00Fifita. We saw the individual try he scored on his debut against

1:02:00 > 1:02:04Argentina. A big man. He has had a very good first half.The line-out

1:02:04 > 1:02:09from New Zealand. The All Blacks looking for something in these final

1:02:09 > 1:02:15few minutes. Sonny Bill Williams, off-loads. Naholo takes it in.

1:02:15 > 1:02:21Dangerous moments for Scotland. The spill... Perhaps Scotland can offer

1:02:21 > 1:02:25something in the final minutes. Stuart Hogg decides to kick and

1:02:25 > 1:02:32chase it down himself. It is watched by Sonny Bill Williams. Who is equal

1:02:32 > 1:02:37to the challenge of Hogg. Stays in play.

1:02:43 > 1:02:54Naholo holds on and Jonny Gray wraps it up. Smith. Sonny Bill Williams,

1:02:54 > 1:02:59this time to Taylor, whose bills, and that might be, as the clock is

1:02:59 > 1:03:07about to the red. -- who spills. Time for the line-up.We are going

1:03:07 > 1:03:13to have the last passage of play. Take the line-up.REFEREE:The ball

1:03:13 > 1:03:20was already in touch, I think. Normally... He doesn't need to pass

1:03:20 > 1:03:31it. He just had to pass it and support Taylor.Last chance of the

1:03:31 > 1:03:34first half, Toolis hangs onto it, gets it back. Murrayfield on

1:03:34 > 1:03:39something. Held at the back by McInally. And again, the maul starts

1:03:39 > 1:03:48to make a bit of progress. They have had one shot at it. Price. Takes the

1:03:48 > 1:03:52hit and gives it well to Jones. Tries to wrestle himself away from

1:03:52 > 1:03:58Barrett. Cornell du Preez feeds Jonny Gray.

1:04:04 > 1:04:08Again, shuffled on by the forwards, but Scotland with the ball, going

1:04:08 > 1:04:12backwards a little bit.

1:04:15 > 1:04:22Barclay, du Preez and Marfo helping out. Scotland is not making any

1:04:22 > 1:04:28ground at the moment, as Gray tries to roll his way on. Ali Price, drop

1:04:28 > 1:04:35goal attempt for Russell, and it's not his best. And McKenzie now. The

1:04:35 > 1:04:39All Blacks still have something to offer, almost runs into his own

1:04:39 > 1:04:47Madden. Crotty. Barrett, Barrett to Ioane. Ioane still coming forward,

1:04:47 > 1:04:52great upper body strength. Still going. WHISTLE

1:04:52 > 1:05:01Penalty to the All Blacks. The All Blacks' trademark, even in the red

1:05:01 > 1:05:05time, even in the red after 40 minutes.Still looking for an

1:05:05 > 1:05:14opportunity to attack. It was Rico -- Ioane. It means New Zealand can

1:05:14 > 1:05:23hope to kick. If they want a half to end, they have do tap it first.We

1:05:23 > 1:05:27will see it happens, if they kick it straight out it means they want to

1:05:27 > 1:05:31play and Scotland will have to defend once more. It is a good kick

1:05:31 > 1:05:36from Barrett.Very good kick indeed. This will be a menacing position.

1:05:36 > 1:05:44Super carry bite Ioane. Such big upper body strength. Marfo hit him

1:05:44 > 1:05:50hard but didn't get near it.Smith, and there is Sonny Bill Williams,

1:05:50 > 1:05:54getting it to Ioane. Scotland have to survive on last onslaught in this

1:05:54 > 1:06:01first half. No bit of power from Hames takes him deeper into the 22.

1:06:01 > 1:06:07That is Sam Cane. Three through the middle, straight through the

1:06:07 > 1:06:13middle... Penalty to Scotland. REFEREE:You didn't need to go there

1:06:13 > 1:06:22to move it. Might just keep carrying on. Well...

1:06:22 > 1:06:26Out it goes and it is over. A fascinating first half. Honours

1:06:26 > 1:06:34even.Yes, what's important for Scotland is they have been great in

1:06:34 > 1:06:39attack and defence. New Zealand haven't had a lot of possession,

1:06:39 > 1:06:44Scotland have been in control.Great first half and Scotland, much clever

1:06:44 > 1:06:48play than last week. I think they are doing so much right. They were

1:06:48 > 1:06:53well ahead in the penalty count until 5-10 minutes ago. They were

1:06:53 > 1:06:57using the ball well when they had it. The urgency at the breakdown

1:06:57 > 1:07:00excellent. The line-out is untouchable. Zander Fagerson has

1:07:00 > 1:07:05done really well as well.3-3 doesn't sound fascinating but it is.

1:07:05 > 1:07:09An intriguing second-half in prospect.

1:07:09 > 1:07:15It sure is. We spend the whole of the build-up talking about how the

1:07:15 > 1:07:17new Scotland under Townsend scored tries and how the All Blacks always

1:07:17 > 1:07:20score tries and here we are at half-time and we haven't had a

1:07:20 > 1:07:24single try from either side, just one penalty kick either side. These

1:07:24 > 1:07:27three points for Beauden Barrett towards the end of the first half

1:07:27 > 1:07:32take him to 198 points in international rugby, scoring more

1:07:32 > 1:07:36points this year than anybody else in the world. There is a key factor

1:07:36 > 1:07:40at the top. And there is New Zealand... 72 tackles to Scotland's

1:07:40 > 1:07:4746. Look at the territory. It is almost two thirds, Scotland in New

1:07:47 > 1:07:50Zealand territory. It's one of those funny things, Andy. If you said

1:07:50 > 1:07:55before a ball was kicked in earnest, 3-3 at half-time, do you fancy that?

1:07:55 > 1:07:59You would say absolutely. But in the context of how the game has panned

1:07:59 > 1:08:03out, in a sense Scotland could be disappointed.In a way. They will be

1:08:03 > 1:08:07very pleased with the performance. It has been everything it wasn't

1:08:07 > 1:08:10lastly, the intensity has been there, the ambition fantastic.

1:08:10 > 1:08:21Everything you want

1:08:27 > 1:08:30to see Gregor Townsend coached team and it has come out in the

1:08:30 > 1:08:32physicality. They have had line speed, kicked well, their accuracy

1:08:32 > 1:08:34has been much better than it was against Samoa against better

1:08:34 > 1:08:36opposition. They will be very pleased at 3-3. They will be very

1:08:36 > 1:08:39pleased about how the shape of the game has gone and how they have been

1:08:39 > 1:08:40pleased about how the shape of the game has gone and how they have been

1:08:40 > 1:08:42able to match the All Blacks in many aspects.And for Steve Hansen?We

1:08:42 > 1:08:45are taken back by the physicality of the Scottish team at the moment. We

1:08:45 > 1:08:49came with a game plan to try and get into the ten channel and try and get

1:08:49 > 1:08:51advantage and play our game but we haven't been able to. I think both

1:08:51 > 1:08:54sides, Russell has that channel, and we haven't been able to get any

1:08:54 > 1:08:57purchase on this game. We are going backwards. It is a credit to the

1:08:57 > 1:09:01Scotland defence.Some of the best football games ever 0-0, some of

1:09:01 > 1:09:05this movement is fantastic. Stuart Hogg has been magnificent. Almost

1:09:05 > 1:09:08making up for when he missed out in the summer and didn't play in the

1:09:08 > 1:09:10Lions test.Absolutely.

1:09:10 > 1:09:12the summer and didn't play in the Lions test.Absolutely. First

1:09:12 > 1:09:15receiver, that's where you want Stuart Hogg. Cornell du Preez knocks

1:09:15 > 1:09:22it on. Again, Finn Russell takes it. Passes out to Stuart Hogg. When

1:09:22 > 1:09:24somebody is this confident and playing as well, you want the ball

1:09:24 > 1:09:28in his hands as often as possible but in the right places. Scotland's

1:09:28 > 1:09:35shaping attack was really good. He was second receiver. Finn Russell

1:09:35 > 1:09:41with the pass. Scotland want to get the ball to Stuart Hogg. He has the

1:09:41 > 1:09:45New Zealand know if they miss one tackle, is away. So it's been great

1:09:45 > 1:09:49to see Stuart Hogg on an integral part of Scotland's attack. Not just

1:09:49 > 1:09:53as the finisher but as the creator. I love the shape that

1:09:53 > 1:09:54as the finisher but as the creator. I love the shape that they brought

1:09:54 > 1:09:57to a.Every time he gets the ball you can almost see the All Blacks

1:09:57 > 1:10:01saying, watch out, something might happen here.Simple things, ball

1:10:01 > 1:10:05into Rennes hands, looking up and seeing who is in front of them,

1:10:05 > 1:10:09forward or back? He's moving and it's great but had to defend.We

1:10:09 > 1:10:13talk about the All Blacks kicking the ball more than any other team in

1:10:13 > 1:10:18international rugby but Scotland are using the ball well!It is the kick

1:10:18 > 1:10:23and the kick chase that is good. Ali Price last week to many of his box

1:10:23 > 1:10:29kicks went too far, but look at this. The kicking game has been

1:10:29 > 1:10:32good, it's been accurate. Finn Russell, he's finding his range.

1:10:32 > 1:10:35Scotland have got such a good defensive line-out, they will want

1:10:35 > 1:10:39to put pressure on it. It is the right thing to do. Stuart Hogg it's

1:10:39 > 1:10:45the ball here. Look at this kick that he's got there. 60 metres, 65

1:10:45 > 1:10:49metres and again they can exert pressure on the defence. Ali Price,

1:10:49 > 1:10:53I have been really impressed with what he has done. He wasn't calling

1:10:53 > 1:11:00the winger to go up for that, just put it down there and let's put the

1:11:00 > 1:11:04defence on the All Blacks. A smart kicking game.It seems like a good

1:11:04 > 1:11:09and clear tactic. Happy to kick down into territory, force the All

1:11:09 > 1:11:13Blacks... Codie Taylor, not an experienced All Black yet, he has

1:11:13 > 1:11:17been challenged, blocking off the tail of the line-out, they have to

1:11:17 > 1:11:20throw to the front. Not able to get through Channel ten, that's where it

1:11:20 > 1:11:23all starts.If you are confident to put the ball in their territory, do

1:11:23 > 1:11:27you then have to back that with your defence. Scotland's line speed has

1:11:27 > 1:11:30been tremendous.It has. They

1:11:30 > 1:11:31defence. Scotland's line speed has been tremendous.It has. They have

1:11:31 > 1:11:33not missed many tackles. There is an example here, this was after a

1:11:33 > 1:11:38number of phases. John Barclay I've highlighted. The defensive line he

1:11:38 > 1:11:41has, they will all come off that line. Keep them together like this.

1:11:41 > 1:11:47Look at the line speed John Barclay and Hamish Watson... They exert

1:11:47 > 1:11:51pressure. This was time after time. This was just one example of the

1:11:51 > 1:11:57lines read that Scotland put in. You can see that. It was the line speed,

1:11:57 > 1:12:00Andy Farrell's defence with the lines caused albums in the summer

1:12:00 > 1:12:03series in Scotland have adopted that. I spoke to Gregor Townsend a

1:12:03 > 1:12:07few weeks ago when he said, I saw a lot of things in the lines we will

1:12:07 > 1:12:07try to adopt. He

1:12:07 > 1:12:08lot of things in the lines we will try to adopt. He didn't say what

1:12:08 > 1:12:12they were, but that was clearly one of them.You said before the game

1:12:12 > 1:12:18the All Blacks would target the number ten channel and that is what

1:12:18 > 1:12:21they've done.They have tried to do that. Sonny Bill Williams is

1:12:21 > 1:12:24carrying it but the guys each side are doing a great job, wrapping him

1:12:24 > 1:12:28up, not able to off-load and not getting the advantage. The forward

1:12:28 > 1:12:33to having to get back around and try to go forward. That is one of the

1:12:33 > 1:12:36better carries where Beauden Barrett takes on. It is a clear tactic. And

1:12:36 > 1:12:42try to go through that once they get advantage. They are looking at

1:12:42 > 1:12:49variations.One incident I suppose we could talk about which might have

1:12:49 > 1:12:52had a material impact on how the game would have panned out is the

1:12:52 > 1:12:57possible yellow card. In fact, just to alert you, don't forget England

1:12:57 > 1:13:01against Australia coming up on BBC Two after this match. Yellow card is

1:13:01 > 1:13:04an important factor in that game, not giving too much away this have

1:13:04 > 1:13:05been a yellow

1:13:05 > 1:13:06not giving too much away this have been a yellow card or not?We said

1:13:06 > 1:13:11in the studio when we were watching it was penalty slash yellow card, no

1:13:11 > 1:13:15more than that. The referee when he first saw it said yellow and he was

1:13:15 > 1:13:20going to give yellow. What's taken it from a yellow down to just a

1:13:20 > 1:13:24penalty from the TMO is Ali Price's involvement. He said he crossed his

1:13:24 > 1:13:29line, changed his life, I don't think he did. We could probably

1:13:29 > 1:13:33debate it... It's probably what colour shirt you support. I think

1:13:33 > 1:13:37that was a yellow.And look, I agree with

1:13:37 > 1:13:39that was a yellow.And look, I agree with all the points you've made. The

1:13:39 > 1:13:46fact is...But you don't! CHUCKLES He is a ball of muscle. Just that

1:13:46 > 1:13:49slight contact... The fact is he is probably off the ground, which is a

1:13:49 > 1:13:54penalty. I guess what saves is Ali Price was shepherding Naholo as he

1:13:54 > 1:13:59was coming back. That's how they adjudicate it.Don't those decisions

1:13:59 > 1:14:05always go the way of the All Blacks? They used to, now things have

1:14:05 > 1:14:10changed!We haven't had a try. Only one that the Principality Stadium

1:14:10 > 1:14:11this afternoon, the match

1:14:11 > 1:14:11one that the Principality Stadium this afternoon, the match between

1:14:11 > 1:14:15Wales and Georgia. One of those matches where Wales in advance were

1:14:15 > 1:14:21thinking this might be a bit of a banana skin. As you can see, this in

1:14:21 > 1:14:24the first quarter of the match, we thought the floodgates might open.

1:14:24 > 1:14:29But that was the only try of the game. Towards the end, Georgia had

1:14:29 > 1:14:33an opportunity right on the Welsh line to force a draw but they didn't

1:14:33 > 1:14:36manage it. So they will be encouraged by the final score,

1:14:36 > 1:14:40ultimately. Huge relief for the Welsh, as well, as you can see. A

1:14:40 > 1:14:50good win for Italy, for Argentina in Italy. Just go for the anthems, what

1:14:50 > 1:14:54a great weekend that would be! Victory for Argentina. Romania

1:14:54 > 1:14:58beating Samoa, a good result for them. A big win for the USA in

1:14:58 > 1:15:04Germany. Japan putting 30 points on Tonga. And down at the bottom,

1:15:04 > 1:15:10Ireland against Fiji at 5:30pm. And France playing South Africa at,

1:15:10 > 1:15:13interesting to see how the Springboks respond what happened to

1:15:13 > 1:15:18them in Ireland last weekend. Before we kicked off here, the scenes on

1:15:18 > 1:15:21the pitch when Doddie Weir brought the ball out wide to mulch or some

1:15:21 > 1:15:22very emotional and dutifully

1:15:22 > 1:15:22the ball out wide to mulch or some very emotional and dutifully staged.

1:15:22 > 1:15:29Doddie Weir is now with Sonia. Doddie Weir, looking resplendent as

1:15:29 > 1:15:33ever in top to toe tartan. We would expect nothing less. How about that

1:15:33 > 1:15:38ovation you got from this Murrayfield crowd just before

1:15:38 > 1:15:41kick-off?Staggering, the amount of support I am receiving from

1:15:41 > 1:15:45everyone. The rugby public has been overwhelming. There are no words

1:15:45 > 1:15:50that can describe the kind of moment. This support gives me the

1:15:50 > 1:15:55positive attitude to get up and carry on with what I'm doing, just

1:15:55 > 1:16:00amazing.Such a difficult diagnosis, how are you?Not the best. For

1:16:00 > 1:16:04people that don't know, it's a serious issue, a terminal illness

1:16:04 > 1:16:09and no cure at the moment and only one drug available. 22 years since

1:16:09 > 1:16:14that drug came out so not a lot happening. Otherwise... Not bad.

1:16:14 > 1:16:19I've been given a card and I'm OK at the moment... There are areas

1:16:19 > 1:16:24disappearing, because it's all about muscle wastage. Memories on the

1:16:24 > 1:16:29experience I've been having is unbelievable, and long may they

1:16:29 > 1:16:34continue.Give us an idea of the groundswell of support you have had

1:16:34 > 1:16:40from within the sport of rugby union?Well, it's just... Endless

1:16:40 > 1:16:45messages coming through, e-mails coming through. At the moment we've

1:16:45 > 1:16:52had numerous dinners, one with Kerry Logan, a good friend. And Gabby Enda

1:16:52 > 1:16:57Kenny, thank you for that. 1300 people came to say hello. On the

1:16:57 > 1:17:01back of that, 150 rugby players as well. It is getting the message out

1:17:01 > 1:17:05there. There are a lot of other things happening, as well. Lovely

1:17:05 > 1:17:09people are sending in a couple of pounds, £5, which is important as

1:17:09 > 1:17:13well, to try make a difference to this most horrendous disease that we

1:17:13 > 1:17:18have two hold off at the moment.I saw a tweet from Kelly Brown earlier

1:17:18 > 1:17:23and it says Doddie Weir, we love you. Thank you for your time.The

1:17:23 > 1:17:26love is there and I feel at the moment. Very humbling with what we

1:17:26 > 1:17:29are going through a very emotional as well. At the end of the day,

1:17:29 > 1:17:34there is a serious cause behind it all. Hopefully we will make a

1:17:34 > 1:17:40difference MBF to annoy you for many years yet.Let's hope so. Thank you.

1:17:40 > 1:17:44A fantastic night in Battersea. You and I were there. Dutifully staged

1:17:44 > 1:17:51at the start, wasn't it?It was. Incredible. I first played with

1:17:51 > 1:17:55Doddie Weir 30 years ago. He's just approached this whole thing

1:17:55 > 1:18:00incredibly. His humility... It's all about awareness, it's not about him,

1:18:00 > 1:18:07he's so selfless about it. I'm not ashamed to say, I had a tear in my

1:18:07 > 1:18:10eye when he walked on the pitch.I think we all did. This time last

1:18:10 > 1:18:13week at half-time in the match in Wales we spoke to Paul O'Connell

1:18:13 > 1:18:16about what might happen when the great and the good of the Welsh

1:18:16 > 1:18:23rugby fraternity gathered to find out where the World Cup was going to

1:18:23 > 1:18:27be held in 2023. You were talking a good game last week and hoping

1:18:27 > 1:18:30Ireland would get the nod but in the end it went to France, perhaps

1:18:30 > 1:18:34surprisingly. The rabbit out of the pack at the end. How disappointed

1:18:34 > 1:18:41its Irish rugby about the verdict? Obviously Irish rugby and the Irish

1:18:41 > 1:18:45public in general, not just the rugby fraternity, everyone is

1:18:45 > 1:18:50devastated and disappointed. We saw in 2011 what an amazing tournament

1:18:50 > 1:18:54could be run in a small country, when New Zealand hosted it. Ireland

1:18:54 > 1:18:59felt we could do the same and maybe even better, with our loves the

1:18:59 > 1:19:02sport and our reputation for hospitality. So it is disappointing.

1:19:02 > 1:19:06I am sure it will be a fantastic tournament in France, at the same

1:19:06 > 1:19:13time, so we have to take it on the chin and move on. Were you surprised

1:19:13 > 1:19:15the home nations didn't support Ireland as a block? I probably was.

1:19:15 > 1:19:19I think beforehand they had been saying they were pretty clear on how

1:19:19 > 1:19:23they were going to vote. I thought Scotland were going to vote with the

1:19:23 > 1:19:27country that was offering the most money, and Wales were going to vote

1:19:27 > 1:19:30with the recommendation of the evaluation committee, Gareth Davies

1:19:30 > 1:19:34was on the evaluation committee and also chairman of Welsh rugby. So

1:19:34 > 1:19:39they were in a difficult situation. I suppose they stuck to their lines,

1:19:39 > 1:19:48so you can't blame them for that either.A quick word about what you

1:19:48 > 1:19:51have just seen. We have been ensconced in our studio, you are out

1:19:51 > 1:19:53there sensing the atmosphere. Murrayfield doesn't bounce like this

1:19:53 > 1:19:57too often, there's a real sense of anticipation now that Scotland might

1:19:57 > 1:20:00do the unthinkable?If you said before the game at Scotland won't

1:20:00 > 1:20:04have scored a try by half-time but would still be in the game, I would

1:20:04 > 1:20:08have been very surprised. New Zealand have averaged 37 points

1:20:08 > 1:20:13again this year and five tries a game. Scotland have kept them

1:20:13 > 1:20:16scoreless. I think the big thing for me has been their kicking game. It's

1:20:16 > 1:20:20all well and good to say you need to play territory and you need to play

1:20:20 > 1:20:24in the other team's half of the pitch, but you need clever players

1:20:24 > 1:20:28that in the white hot heat of battle can see the space and they can put

1:20:28 > 1:20:32foot to ball and get it there like Ali Price and Hogg have done, and

1:20:32 > 1:20:36like Finn Russell has done. Their line-out has also helped them.

1:20:36 > 1:20:40Whenever they've had a line-out, they haven't looked like they'd lose

1:20:40 > 1:20:45any of them. Their line-out has been excellent. A brilliant performance

1:20:45 > 1:20:49by Scotland. A big improvement in their defence. I think Hamish Watson

1:20:49 > 1:20:53will be a loss. I think one of the things they thrive on its quick ball

1:20:53 > 1:20:57and you need players who can slow it down legally and not give away

1:20:57 > 1:21:02penalties.We saw those young lads there who perhaps in years to come

1:21:02 > 1:21:06will talk about being at Murrayfield on the historic day that Scotland

1:21:06 > 1:21:12beat the All Blacks. For Scotland to win, it may come down to the

1:21:12 > 1:21:17strength of the bench and there's a lot of inexperience... Two players

1:21:17 > 1:21:21without a single cap and two with just one.That will be difficult for

1:21:21 > 1:21:25Scotland. Scotland have to go in expecting New Zealand play better in

1:21:25 > 1:21:28the second half, there is the challenge. Can Scotland play better?

1:21:28 > 1:21:32And Scotland play their kicking game even more? Can the line speed be

1:21:32 > 1:21:36quicker? More intensive physicality? And the accuracy be there in the

1:21:36 > 1:21:39attack question what they got into the 22 and didn't quite take their

1:21:39 > 1:21:44chances, if they do that in the second half we might have history.

1:21:44 > 1:21:50chances, if they do that in the second half we might have history.

1:21:50 > 1:21:52To be described by Andrew Cotter... COMMENTATOR: One significant change

1:21:52 > 1:21:56at half-time in the Scottish line-up. Simon Berghan is on. I

1:21:56 > 1:22:00can't see Zander Fagerson... If that is the case, Fagerson would be a big

1:22:00 > 1:22:05loss. The restart, nobody taking it for the All Blacks, a bit of

1:22:05 > 1:22:10confusion. We'll certainly have a look at the front row. In ball

1:22:10 > 1:22:13carrying terms, you talk about needing a damaging ball-carrier,

1:22:13 > 1:22:22Fagerson provides that element for Scotland. There is Berghan, a huge

1:22:22 > 1:22:34unit himself.Not sure if he is the replacement.The All Blacks...

1:22:34 > 1:22:42Knocked-on. Big, big blindside 15 metres out.I think what we said at

1:22:42 > 1:22:47half-time, almost a bit too harsh on Scotland. I think Scotland and

1:22:47 > 1:22:55Townsend... If -- Fifita taking the ball. They should push on and have

1:22:55 > 1:22:58more belief rather than just aim with the All Blacks. This is a

1:22:58 > 1:23:02perfect launch pad at the start of the second half to try and do that.

1:23:02 > 1:23:05Very unlike New Zealand to give you opportunities like this, off the

1:23:05 > 1:23:13kick off. Great field position now for Scotland.Scotland will not want

1:23:13 > 1:23:17to dwell on this scrum, because it is getting more and more

1:23:17 > 1:23:25underpowered. REFEREE:All of you went in. In the space, come on.

1:23:25 > 1:23:27That's fine.

1:23:31 > 1:23:37Backs lining up in a formation behind the scrum.Scotland will be

1:23:37 > 1:23:43looking to play this really quickly, I imagine. The backs lined up

1:23:43 > 1:23:49directly behind the scrum and then out to be right. It all starts from

1:23:49 > 1:23:58the put-in.New Zealand again try to put on the squeeze. Du Preez feeds

1:23:58 > 1:24:05it to Russell, Russell gives it flat to Dunbar, who just dried himself an

1:24:05 > 1:24:08four metres. Price hangs on to read. Still there for Scotland, through

1:24:08 > 1:24:17the middle, McInally. And again, the crowd roars, and a penalty goes to

1:24:17 > 1:24:28the All Blacks. And the noise dies away. White locking a great

1:24:28 > 1:24:31position, says the referee.Sam Whitelock was on his feet, still

1:24:31 > 1:24:42quite high. I think Stuart McInally made the final carry. Sam Whitelock,

1:24:42 > 1:24:46just able to hold onto the ball and win his side a penalty.Her reading

1:24:46 > 1:24:50around the back of the ruck, had for the Scottish players to get access

1:24:50 > 1:24:56to the ruck to clear it out.Beauden Barrett with the clearance. A player

1:24:56 > 1:25:00down injured at the moment... We think it... Let's watch the replay

1:25:00 > 1:25:05once again.You can see Sam Whitelock are clearly on his feet

1:25:05 > 1:25:11and then winning the next line-out as well.Not hanging around. And

1:25:11 > 1:25:16nobody taking it for Scotland. A clearance by Ioane and again using

1:25:16 > 1:25:22that strength, gives it to Codie Taylor. Codie Taylor charging into

1:25:22 > 1:25:27the 22. Smith alongside. Scotland struggling back for defence. Ioane

1:25:27 > 1:25:35is so damaging. Scotland are down to 14 men.

1:25:39 > 1:25:43A man down in defence, so the All Blacks looking to take advantage.

1:25:43 > 1:25:49Once more, Ioane, this time taken by Hogg. The ball is spilled but goes

1:25:49 > 1:25:55backwards. Dunbar coming off. Scotland are short-handed at the

1:25:55 > 1:25:59back. Barrett carries it, Smith down the blindside, sneaking past

1:25:59 > 1:26:01Barclay.

1:26:03 > 1:26:11Scotland still a man down, can the All Blacks punish them? Ioane to

1:26:11 > 1:26:16Taylor and Taylor in for a try! They knew there was a man over, a man

1:26:16 > 1:26:23advantage. Taylor dives and the try is scored.Super attack from New

1:26:23 > 1:26:27Zealand. To think we were on their New Zealand line not two minutes

1:26:27 > 1:26:33ago. This is why they are so good. Really disappointing that no one

1:26:33 > 1:26:42challenged in the air the box-kick off Aaron Smith. New Zealand

1:26:42 > 1:26:47attacking five metres from the Scottish line.It was almost too

1:26:47 > 1:26:52short for Lee Jones to come forward. Ali Price was caught. Look what

1:26:52 > 1:26:58Ioane did afterwards, he has been phenomenal. So powerful. That looked

1:26:58 > 1:27:00suspiciously forward to Codie Taylor, who has worked hard in the

1:27:00 > 1:27:07left channel. Codie Taylor retains that position out wide. This long

1:27:07 > 1:27:11pass from Sonny Bill Williams to Taylor and he finished off.Fairly

1:27:11 > 1:27:14straightforward when you know there is a man going off. They hadn't got

1:27:14 > 1:27:20Pete Horne on as a replacement. If they know they have an extra man,

1:27:20 > 1:27:27they punish you.They punish you very well. And it's made for the

1:27:27 > 1:27:34wide games that New Zealand play so well.Scotland couldn't get a

1:27:34 > 1:27:40replacement and. It needs a defensive leader, a physical player,

1:27:40 > 1:27:45but to coordinate the defensive structure. He was missed in that

1:27:45 > 1:27:51phrase but take nothing away from the All Blacks. Another trademark,

1:27:51 > 1:27:55excellent try. Beauden Barrett for the conversion.

1:28:00 > 1:28:07Coming round... Not quite enough. The All Blacks lead by five.

1:28:07 > 1:28:10Scotland are starting to spend a few replacements as well. Peter Horne is

1:28:10 > 1:28:22on for Dunbar. Ioane made the pass. Not Sonny Bill but Ioane. Codie

1:28:22 > 1:28:31Taylor gets another one for his side. Just confirmation of Peter

1:28:31 > 1:28:39Horne on for Alex Dunbar. Just to keep you updated on Zander Fagerson,

1:28:39 > 1:28:47he is off with concussion. Gilchrist is on for Ben Toolis... That's not

1:28:47 > 1:28:51right, I can see Ben Toolis. I think that is the All Blacks change.

1:28:51 > 1:28:55Anyway, Scotland attack through Huw Jones.

1:28:58 > 1:29:06A bit of space out wide now. There is Toolis, Berghan, Hogg shifts it

1:29:06 > 1:29:12to Hamilton. Hamilton, in his first cap, carries well. McInally. He

1:29:12 > 1:29:15slips it to Jonny Gray.

1:29:18 > 1:29:22Russell out wide to Barclay in midfield.

1:29:27 > 1:29:36Horne, a sly little pass to Huw Jones. Good strength. Like a bad

1:29:36 > 1:29:41dog, Crotty is told to get back. Taken in by Cornell du Preez. A

1:29:41 > 1:29:49murmur of support around Murrayfield starts to grow. A spill from Tommy

1:29:49 > 1:29:55Seymour. WHISTLE Penalty to the All Blacks. You can

1:29:55 > 1:30:03hear the crowd. Peter Horne... REFEREE:A second tackle to the

1:30:03 > 1:30:06ground.Some good width in the Scottish attack, some confidence in

1:30:06 > 1:30:12how they are playing, which is good. Good to see, after conceding a try,

1:30:12 > 1:30:16that the natural instinct is to attack and continue to play that

1:30:16 > 1:30:19fast game, from Scotland's point of view. We think Scotland will be

1:30:19 > 1:30:27given more chances. Seymour carries, number 22 players out. Sam Cane

1:30:27 > 1:30:31makes the tackle. You have to stay on your feet.The referees are very

1:30:31 > 1:30:39sharp on that now.Good sport. Taken back by Whitelock. It didn't look

1:30:39 > 1:30:46too straight and spotted by the touch judge, the assistant referee.

1:30:46 > 1:30:54Playing as they had, you would much rather be defending the ball at the

1:30:54 > 1:30:58front rather than the back of the line-out.From a defensive point of

1:30:58 > 1:31:06view it takes away the gunners if they throw to the front.Pays down

1:31:06 > 1:31:10and Steve Mutch and James Robson is on, doesn't look good for Hamilton

1:31:10 > 1:31:15and Scotland. Scotland are racing through their replacements.The fact

1:31:15 > 1:31:22McInally is a back row...McInally started as a back row so you are

1:31:22 > 1:31:29looking at different options.Jonny Gray has spent a little bit of time

1:31:29 > 1:31:34there. Not a huge amount, not as much as McInally. Hamilton does not

1:31:34 > 1:31:39look comfortable. He has looked good since coming on. He's played well

1:31:39 > 1:31:43for Leicester. George Turner will come on. He's had time in the back

1:31:43 > 1:31:47row as well, naturally aggressive ball-carrier, plays a hooker like a

1:31:47 > 1:31:55back rower. Hamilton has been impressive for Leicester, good

1:31:55 > 1:32:06ball-carrier and hard worker, as is

1:32:06 > 1:32:11this man, Luke Hamilton. His leg twisted underneath him.The worst

1:32:11 > 1:32:15injuries are often innocuous, there he is, spinning over his man.You

1:32:15 > 1:32:20almost relax, the whistle goes, spinning around and your body

1:32:20 > 1:32:26relaxes and you are caught unawares. It's never nice to see someone on

1:32:26 > 1:32:30his first cap, after coming on and making a big impact.It is a

1:32:30 > 1:32:36shameful Luke Hamilton, Welsh born, played for the wells on the 20s,

1:32:36 > 1:32:42didn't get time at the Cardiff Blues, did very well for Agen in the

1:32:42 > 1:32:46Top 14 and they were relegated, he was one of the top tacklers in the

1:32:46 > 1:32:51division and he's moved to Leicester where he's been impressive. They are

1:32:51 > 1:32:55inflating the support so it doesn't look good for Luke Hamilton.Good to

1:32:55 > 1:33:00see Stuart Hogg coming up and wishing him all the best. There is a

1:33:00 > 1:33:04look at Steve Hansen. New Zealand have scored the first try of the

1:33:04 > 1:33:10game, this was the pass, right-to-left, Ioane, inch perfect,

1:33:10 > 1:33:18Taylor still had work to do under pressure from Seymour. Good score.

1:33:18 > 1:33:26He has had a really good game. Coles often works in the wide channels

1:33:26 > 1:33:29when he plays at stew for New Zealand and this guy is willing to

1:33:29 > 1:33:34do it. The challenge now for Scotland as the mat of changes that

1:33:34 > 1:33:38are happening. These guys have got to come on. They want to make an

1:33:38 > 1:33:43impact but first and foremost they want to come on and slot in and

1:33:43 > 1:33:46perform as well as the guys that have been on already and perform as

1:33:46 > 1:33:50a unit like the rest of the guys. That's the big thing we see from

1:33:50 > 1:33:54Scotland today, they are playing very well together as a unit, as a

1:33:54 > 1:34:02team. The difficulty for him is he will come on and make a big impact,

1:34:02 > 1:34:07big ball-carrier, huge tacular, so determined so that's not a problem,

1:34:07 > 1:34:11he will slot in really well. If he's not used to running the set pieces

1:34:11 > 1:34:17as the line-out and the scrum that is where he will need to concentrate

1:34:17 > 1:34:22and use his team-mates to help him. It depends where they put him in the

1:34:22 > 1:34:28line-out. We hope this injury is not as bad as it does sadly look.Luke

1:34:28 > 1:34:31Hamilton's second cap, we hope, will follow in the not distant future.

1:34:31 > 1:34:38George Turner the mother hooker, coming on.McInally seems to be

1:34:38 > 1:34:41scrummaging on the blindside for Scotland.That's what we talked

1:34:41 > 1:34:44about, Stuart McInally started as a back row before he moved forward to

1:34:44 > 1:34:51play hooker. That often happens. He will be on the flank and George

1:34:51 > 1:34:53Turner as hooker. Scotland's turned to improvise with still half an hour

1:34:53 > 1:34:56to go in this match.

1:35:02 > 1:35:05Against all these changes, do Scotland still believe they can win?

1:35:05 > 1:35:11Down it goes and Scotland in all sorts of trouble at the scrum there.

1:35:11 > 1:35:17This may be a portent of things to come.That was an aggressive scrum.

1:35:17 > 1:35:21Very hard to see, it happened so quickly, the referee on the far side

1:35:21 > 1:35:27of the scrum, maybe his touch judge on the side told him over the

1:35:27 > 1:35:31microphone. This puts you under pressure and if you concede scrums

1:35:31 > 1:35:37you have to defend the line-out in your own 22.For Scotland to dig

1:35:37 > 1:35:39themselves out of this now, because the long breakdown in play, the

1:35:39 > 1:35:43crowd has gone quiet, the stuffing knocked out of the game, whereas

1:35:43 > 1:35:46before it was all excitement and noise, Scotland have to find some

1:35:46 > 1:35:54way back in. New Zealand arrive to the line-out in this attacking

1:35:54 > 1:36:01position and Codie Taylor, try scorer, looking to his man. There is

1:36:01 > 1:36:09Liam Squire, the replacement back row. It goes beyond him to Sam Cane

1:36:09 > 1:36:14and New Zealand's maul racing forward now, held in by Laulala

1:36:14 > 1:36:19command advantage to the All Blacks, Simon Berghan coming in for

1:36:19 > 1:36:22Scotland. Scotland in all sorts of trouble here, free attack for the

1:36:22 > 1:36:26All Blacks, and they are still walking towards the line but move it

1:36:26 > 1:36:30through the backs and still with the advantage and Sonny Bill Williams

1:36:30 > 1:36:34chipset through McKenzie for McKenzie for the try, great shrine

1:36:34 > 1:36:37for the All Blacks, McKenzie haring through onto the little chip from

1:36:37 > 1:36:42Sonny Bill Williams, two tries for the All Blacks and a long way back

1:36:42 > 1:36:46for Scotland.Similar trying to lastly, Sonny Bill Williams put Ryan

1:36:46 > 1:36:51Crotty in with a little grubber. That was a pre-called move and there

1:36:51 > 1:36:54was a bit of space. One of the things about playing at Murrayfield

1:36:54 > 1:36:58is the dead ball area is the biggest temple areas of any picture you will

1:36:58 > 1:37:04play in, so this, I was with Irish teams, you came over here and had

1:37:04 > 1:37:08little players that would play little grubbers into the dead ball

1:37:08 > 1:37:11area.They came from the drive and penalty advantage and it's an

1:37:11 > 1:37:16aggressive maul, second receiver, Sonny Bill Williams puts the kick

1:37:16 > 1:37:23through. Stuart Hogg is wide because the pass has gone in and Ali Price

1:37:23 > 1:37:27cannot get out quick enough to cover.One of the things about

1:37:27 > 1:37:31penalty advantage is it is a free ball to them, they know they can try

1:37:31 > 1:37:36that Chip and they are going back for a penalty.Scotland go for

1:37:36 > 1:37:43distance at the restart. And again they are asking a lot deep into

1:37:43 > 1:37:50their replacements. New Zealand have made a change with the experience

1:37:50 > 1:37:58Wyatt Crockett coming on for Hames. A dozen points adrift now. The

1:37:58 > 1:38:05challenge comes in on McInally from Liam Squire. Space for Scotland to

1:38:05 > 1:38:23run into. Price. Jonny Gray and Toolis, the second row combination.

1:38:23 > 1:38:29Out it goes to Marfo, ships it on well to Hogg.

1:38:34 > 1:38:44Turner sets it back. Russell decides not to give to Toolis. Carries in.

1:38:44 > 1:38:50Through the middle goes Barclay. Jonny Gray. He tries to slap a side

1:38:50 > 1:38:55Cane and the ball is spilled, lost forward, and it's a New Zealand

1:38:55 > 1:39:00scrum.Just when the momentum was building, wonderful line by Hogg,

1:39:00 > 1:39:03frustrated that he couldn't get his hands on the pass. There was space

1:39:03 > 1:39:06around the breakdown for Scotland, one or two carries, Jonny Gray

1:39:06 > 1:39:19getting in behind and looking for Hans. Just behind Peter Horne. Going

1:39:19 > 1:39:24over the top of the ruck, Sonny Bill Williams get some treatment.Great

1:39:24 > 1:39:28work by Barclay to get in behind the New Zealand defence. His fitness, 53

1:39:28 > 1:39:33minutes in, and he is just keeping going. He is a relentless player,

1:39:33 > 1:39:39lovely grubber.The defence was sitting back. The lines were so good

1:39:39 > 1:39:41from Crotty, McKenzie and Sonny Bill Williams the Scottish defence can't

1:39:41 > 1:39:47move off them. It is so hard to do when running quickly, kicking

1:39:47 > 1:39:52softly.It is a 50-50, that grubber, but if you know you can go back for

1:39:52 > 1:39:56the penalty advantage it is worth trying.This scrum is a bit like the

1:39:56 > 1:40:00one in the first half where New Zealand might hope for the penalty

1:40:00 > 1:40:05and Scotland just want a firm scrum so that they will perhaps get the

1:40:05 > 1:40:12line-out. The last scrum didn't go well for Scotland. Berghan on the

1:40:12 > 1:40:18tight head side now getting a bit of pressure from Wyatt Crockett. Smith

1:40:18 > 1:40:24to Barrett who prods it forward, racing until it is Hogg, hits it at

1:40:24 > 1:40:30full speed but taken well by Ioane. A couple of really good bits of play

1:40:30 > 1:40:34in there. It looks so simple but Beauden Barrett delays his kick, I

1:40:34 > 1:40:38don't think he intended to kick there. He then sees the space and

1:40:38 > 1:40:41Stuart Hogg covers it so well and Ioane got his technique run but he

1:40:41 > 1:40:47affects the tackle. He affects the tackle and make sure Hogg goes into

1:40:47 > 1:40:53touch.New Zealand creeping up the pitch now, as Seymour spills, did it

1:40:53 > 1:40:57go forwards before backwards? Backwards, says Romain Poite on this

1:40:57 > 1:41:04touch. So, Scotland ship it again and Hogg out wide, Lee Jones, little

1:41:04 > 1:41:12dummy trying to get past Crotty. Crotty has had a quiet game. Toolis.

1:41:12 > 1:41:19And then the low one from Russell that sets up nicely for Beauden

1:41:19 > 1:41:25Barrett, elegant fly-half, Tait McKenzie. He takes a good thump from

1:41:25 > 1:41:32George Turner -- to McKenzie. But then again the black shirts pour in.

1:41:32 > 1:41:39Whitelock gives it onto Fifita. Fine, says the referee, despite the

1:41:39 > 1:41:47Scottish complaints. And again the leap and take from Hogg and New

1:41:47 > 1:41:51Zealand wait for the return before taking down. Crotty was the man.

1:41:51 > 1:41:57Cornell du Preez onto Toolis.He backed out, he backed out.

1:41:57 > 1:42:03Possession with Scotland now and trying to slip through. Aaron Smith

1:42:03 > 1:42:07told to let go and does eventually, there is a leg up in the air

1:42:07 > 1:42:10somewhere.

1:42:15 > 1:42:18Begin, Turner for Scotland, taking his chance at hooker. Fraser Brown

1:42:18 > 1:42:27and Ross Ford. The first two choice hookers out. Laulala. Crotty,

1:42:27 > 1:42:31hitting it at pace, Naholo, and Barrett gets the kick away, McKenzie

1:42:31 > 1:42:35chasing it down again but Tommy Seymour is back on his feet. New

1:42:35 > 1:42:41Zealand trying to get him towards touch. Barclay still going, still

1:42:41 > 1:42:49leading Scotland.Use it! Everyone taking a breather. Price

1:42:49 > 1:43:00calls in close quarter pocket of forwards. Bergin sets it back. The

1:43:00 > 1:43:07box-kick goes up from Price -- Simon Berghan. Good hard competition,

1:43:07 > 1:43:11Barrett did well, George Turner with the attention, and spilled forward

1:43:11 > 1:43:19and Marfo hurls it out, chance from Scotland to counter, the chip and

1:43:19 > 1:43:23trying to run onto it, McKenzie, advantage over, New Zealand in full

1:43:23 > 1:43:26flight, here they come, wonderful handling, the interception from

1:43:26 > 1:43:30Russell. Russell is chasing down his own kick but it's him against four

1:43:30 > 1:43:35or five All Blacks. Beauden Barrett juggles and the booing from the

1:43:35 > 1:43:41crowd, as Russell tries to get there, McKenzie now stepping. He is

1:43:41 > 1:43:47brought down. Murrayfield responds. Breathless rugby but the All Blacks

1:43:47 > 1:43:57just take their time. And just try and come from deeper. Whitelock.

1:43:57 > 1:44:02Scotland trying to counter ruck but it's there for the All Blacks and

1:44:02 > 1:44:10Smith feeds deep. Barrett scoops that kick high, and Scotland have a

1:44:10 > 1:44:13decent attacking line-out.Fantastic play by Finn Russell to prevent a

1:44:13 > 1:44:20try. He read the game, saw it a bit quicker than everyone else. The

1:44:20 > 1:44:25intercept. Codie Taylor, it is a guaranteed try unless he gets to it

1:44:25 > 1:44:30and the great chip ahead. Great enthusiasm. He falls over, gets back

1:44:30 > 1:44:33up and manages to make half a tackle on Beauden Barrett and gets back up

1:44:33 > 1:44:39again. Stuart Hogg followed on. Great pressure and makes New Zealand

1:44:39 > 1:44:44kick out, line-out on the New Zealand half of the field now.Just

1:44:44 > 1:44:53listening to the referee as we watch Toolis coming off for Scotland. Will

1:44:53 > 1:44:58he look at a decision? No. He was happy with the competition in the

1:44:58 > 1:45:04air, so much happened in that passage of play.So many turnovers.

1:45:04 > 1:45:08The crowd have responded really well to that interception by Finn Russell

1:45:08 > 1:45:14as well.Darryl Marfo is coming off, her word for him because he has

1:45:14 > 1:45:19played well, replaced by number seven Jamie Bhatti. Gilchrist is on

1:45:19 > 1:45:23frog Toolis in the second row. Darryl Marfo has carried well, he

1:45:23 > 1:45:26had a fantastic debut last week, another outstanding performance from

1:45:26 > 1:45:32him. So busy, so determined, he did well on set pieces.The All Blacks

1:45:32 > 1:45:39have made a couple of changes, Laulala coming off and Lienert-Brown

1:45:39 > 1:45:47going on, advantage to Scotland, New Zealand collapsing it. Good work by

1:45:47 > 1:45:54Turner going forward. Tu'ungafasi is on for Laulala. The advantage is for

1:45:54 > 1:46:00Scotland so the decision on this one is.One here one on the 15. OK, over

1:46:00 > 1:46:06collapsing.It's not going to be a kick at goal.Scotland's line of

1:46:06 > 1:46:11attack has been brilliant today. They drew a penalty. It's just a

1:46:11 > 1:46:15shame, you would rather do Stephen Dixon better with a penalty

1:46:15 > 1:46:20advantage and see them have a real crack at New Zealand.That is a

1:46:20 > 1:46:23mentality thing. Some players would have known the penalty was coming

1:46:23 > 1:46:29and switched off. Other players get really excited. If you have got the

1:46:29 > 1:46:33penalty I think you should really still attack.If Scotland are to

1:46:33 > 1:46:37come back into this they must score now, just taken by Jonny Gray.

1:46:37 > 1:46:41Scotland trying to maul forward, going sideways at the moment. Jonny

1:46:41 > 1:46:46Gray looking to the referee, shipped back by Turner, and a good line

1:46:46 > 1:46:50picked by Seymour, again, skipping his way through, lays it back, Ali

1:46:50 > 1:46:55Price through the dummy and went himself but he is repelled. Three

1:46:55 > 1:47:00metres out, Scotland come again. Digging forward. George Turner is

1:47:00 > 1:47:04still there for Scotland. And on the goes Jamie Bhatti. Once again

1:47:04 > 1:47:10penalty advantage for Scotland, Berghan tries to go. Close to the

1:47:10 > 1:47:14post, which would be good enough. Price being wrestled, so the penalty

1:47:14 > 1:47:22is there. Quickly taken by Russell. Russell for the line. Not quite! One

1:47:22 > 1:47:28metre short. New Zealand pour over, another penalty, and the pocket has

1:47:28 > 1:47:34been reached full, yellow card for the All Blacks and its Cane. Sam

1:47:34 > 1:47:41Cane who is heading off.That's what can happen when you attack well in

1:47:41 > 1:47:45the opposition five, six, seven metres from the opposition line. If

1:47:45 > 1:47:49you attack well and hold the ball, they infringe you get three points.

1:47:49 > 1:47:54You can even get three points and a yellow card.They are going to take

1:47:54 > 1:48:00it quickly, 15 against 14 now, George Turner, high tackle, another

1:48:00 > 1:48:03advantage, George Turner so close to the ground, the high tackle on him.

1:48:03 > 1:48:09Price. Still with a penalty advantage. Jonny Gray tries to

1:48:09 > 1:48:15stretch and he scores for Scotland. They have the try and they have the

1:48:15 > 1:48:19man advantage and they still have hope that it might be done.Clever

1:48:19 > 1:48:22play. The full front row bench is on for Scotland at the moment, they

1:48:22 > 1:48:27only have five caps between them so they turned down the scrum, they

1:48:27 > 1:48:30didn't over the corner, obviously they were in the middle of the pitch

1:48:30 > 1:48:34for the penalty, quick tap, great strength from Jonny Gray. I thought

1:48:34 > 1:48:39Ali Price slowed it down too much, Jonny Gray has an awful lot to do

1:48:39 > 1:48:44here when he picks up the ball, he has four metres to go, he lands just

1:48:44 > 1:48:48before the ball and is then entitled to place it. Great try, fantastic

1:48:48 > 1:48:53finish, great strength.Sometimes it's all about attitude. Attitude is

1:48:53 > 1:48:58the one word I would use to describe that, George Turner thumping towards

1:48:58 > 1:49:03the line, Jamie Bhatti and finished off by Jonny Gray, determination and

1:49:03 > 1:49:10attitude to get over the line.Not the easiest conversion. Setup for

1:49:10 > 1:49:15the right footer but it will test Russell. But it's good, and Scotland

1:49:15 > 1:49:21are within five points, 18 minutes go.Very important kick. They are in

1:49:21 > 1:49:26a great position now, Scotland. 15 against 14. New Zealand have a man

1:49:26 > 1:49:32in the bin for the next nine minutes.That's what it means to the

1:49:32 > 1:49:36coaching staff, not getting too excited but proud of the courage,

1:49:36 > 1:49:39determination and skill to keep the ball under control. It was attitude

1:49:39 > 1:49:43that drove them through and the physicality we spoke about in the

1:49:43 > 1:49:47first half, and the importance of restarts after Jonny Gray's fourth

1:49:47 > 1:49:52try for his country and Scotland's first in this match.

1:49:56 > 1:50:01New Zealand are making changes again. Cornell du Preez takes it,

1:50:01 > 1:50:03into Ioane.

1:50:12 > 1:50:16Cries of offside, ever hopeful. Price sent it up, taken down but

1:50:16 > 1:50:22into touch, no, have to live. That's worked out well enough for Scotland.

1:50:22 > 1:50:32It buys them a bit of yardage. Grant Gilchrist carrying. Now Russell. He

1:50:32 > 1:50:36tried to offload. They went backwards, say the referee. Scotland

1:50:36 > 1:50:41got away with one. Under a bit of pressure, Peter Horne looking for

1:50:41 > 1:50:44support through the middle now and pick and go by Jonny Gray, gets it

1:50:44 > 1:50:52away. Derna. This time it is spilt forwards, Scotland trying to go

1:50:52 > 1:51:00straight through the middle amid the chaos, and Price throws his head

1:51:00 > 1:51:04back in desperation.That's how the game should be played from

1:51:04 > 1:51:09Scotland's perspective. The changes are coming in the New Zealand back

1:51:09 > 1:51:19line. Aaron Smith is going. TJ Perenara is coming on and

1:51:19 > 1:51:22Lienert-Brown. So many injuries and so much disruption, Scotland have

1:51:22 > 1:51:26got to play this unstructured game, dangerous game to play against the

1:51:26 > 1:51:29world champions. They like it as well. It gives Scotland the best

1:51:29 > 1:51:34opportunity.I think Lienert-Brown was on as a temporary replacement

1:51:34 > 1:51:38for Crotty but we will keep you updated on the changes. Murrayfield

1:51:38 > 1:51:44is making a bit of noise.Ever since that turning point in terms of the

1:51:44 > 1:51:50atmosphere in the second half, when Finn Russell denied that second try.

1:51:50 > 1:51:53Crotty returning after the blood injury and that's why Lienert-Brown

1:51:53 > 1:51:59was on. The atmosphere changed. As you say, Finn Russell make that try

1:51:59 > 1:52:02saving intervention and the pressure went back in New Zealand and it's

1:52:02 > 1:52:06been a different game since then.TJ Perenara, the Hurricanes scrum half,

1:52:06 > 1:52:13there he is on for Aaron Smith, very useful replacement.

1:52:22 > 1:52:34Free kick to New Zealand.TJ Perenara for New Zealand, you would

1:52:34 > 1:52:40imagine he will bring tempo to the game. Fantastic player, supports

1:52:40 > 1:52:44upfield all the time, whenever New Zealand have ball in hand, he'll

1:52:44 > 1:52:47predicts the line break, always upfield looking for a pass or an

1:52:47 > 1:52:54off-load.Threatening in and around the breakdown as well. He will be

1:52:54 > 1:52:58dangerous.Keep an eye on the Scottish front row, they were

1:52:58 > 1:53:02penalised, there was a free kick against them going across the angle

1:53:02 > 1:53:08on the previous scrum, so New Zealand call scrum again. So, New

1:53:08 > 1:53:12Zealand, a reminder, without Sam Cane who is off for ten minutes.

1:53:18 > 1:53:23Doesn't look too steady either, TJ Perenara complains but told to get

1:53:23 > 1:53:30it in. The decision this time is scrum again to the All Blacks.

1:53:30 > 1:53:34That's my fault, we must make it square before we start.Sensible

1:53:34 > 1:53:39decision by the referee. I don't think the nine should be allowed to

1:53:39 > 1:53:43put the ball into that scrum, it was or was moving and never steady.Just

1:53:43 > 1:53:48reminding everyone there that New Zealand are missing a player on his

1:53:48 > 1:53:56side of the scrum, the referee's side in Sam Cane, so it's slightly

1:53:56 > 1:53:58miss balanced. Listen, we are starting again, I am

1:53:58 > 1:54:02not blaming anyone.

1:54:05 > 1:54:19Let's not play the blame game. He has refereed well. Sam Cane on the

1:54:19 > 1:54:24bike to nowhere. Five minutes left in the sin-bin. New Zealand attack

1:54:24 > 1:54:29well, Sonny Bill Williams to McKenzie. What a wonderful try for

1:54:29 > 1:54:33Beauden Barrett. 14 men or not the All Blacks can strike from anywhere.

1:54:33 > 1:54:36Sonny Bill Williams with the break and off-load, Beauden Barrett's try,

1:54:36 > 1:54:44and Murrayfield is stunned.Some tries are just utterly sublime,

1:54:44 > 1:54:48Sonny Bill Williams got on that ball, but watch McKenzie's support

1:54:48 > 1:54:51line in the fallback position, there is the challenge, Sonny Bill

1:54:51 > 1:54:55Williams breaks the tackle, that is what does the damage and Beauden

1:54:55 > 1:54:59Barrett is so quick, he starts from inside and goes right round and

1:54:59 > 1:55:05there is no way to catch him. Watch the off-load in the tackle.Peter

1:55:05 > 1:55:10Horne takes his eye off Sonny Bill Williams, which leaves a one-on-one.

1:55:10 > 1:55:14Sonny Bill Williams is fantastic getting his hands freed in a

1:55:14 > 1:55:18one-on-one tackle.Adam Barrett is so quick as well. He covers the

1:55:18 > 1:55:25ground. That was an excellent score. It's a great example of attacking

1:55:25 > 1:55:28the line. If someone goes towards the line to attack it, in that case

1:55:28 > 1:55:32Sonny Bill Williams, the rest of the team go with him, and so often we

1:55:32 > 1:55:37see whoever attacks getting tackled and recycled phase after phase but

1:55:37 > 1:55:42these guys think the line is going to be broken and they have to flood

1:55:42 > 1:55:44through in support.24 tries for Beauden Barrett for the All Blacks

1:55:44 > 1:55:48now. That is a body blow for Scotland. Gregor Townsend is about

1:55:48 > 1:55:57to send on McGuigan, the Sale Sharks wing. New Zealand, obviously as is

1:55:57 > 1:56:01their right, taking their time now. Wonderful work by Sonny Bill

1:56:01 > 1:56:07Williams, who is going to be coming off. That is his last act. Anton

1:56:07 > 1:56:10Lienert-Brown is going to be back on.I think he's been quite today,

1:56:10 > 1:56:17Sonny Bill Williams. Scotland have defended him really well. Just that

1:56:17 > 1:56:23one moment when they took their eye off the ball. Peter Horne, you can

1:56:23 > 1:56:27see he goes to hit Ryan Crotty but he doesn't even have the ball. He

1:56:27 > 1:56:30just takes his eye off Sonny Bill Williams and loses track of the

1:56:30 > 1:56:34ball. The ball is the most important thing when you are defending.

1:56:34 > 1:56:39Suddenly a very different game with 12 Mr Gove, 12 points the difference

1:56:39 > 1:56:49even though the All Blacks down to 14 men. -- a very different game

1:56:49 > 1:56:56with 12 points the difference. Taken by Liam Squire.Sonny Bill Williams

1:56:56 > 1:57:06is perhaps the greatest of loader in modern rugby.Penalty to Scotland.

1:57:06 > 1:57:11-- off-load a.Good opportunity to hit back right away. He was limping.

1:57:11 > 1:57:19Obstruction in front of the ball. Fifita. Squire is in the picture,

1:57:19 > 1:57:21number six has been penalised. This is a good opportunity for Scotland

1:57:21 > 1:57:28to strike back so soon after conceding points. George Turner has

1:57:28 > 1:57:32moved to the Hulk role.Still time in this for Scotland, still a man

1:57:32 > 1:57:38up, Gilchrist takes it down. New Zealand automatically punch in to

1:57:38 > 1:57:41try and halt that maul, George Turner holding at the back, they've

1:57:41 > 1:57:44used it once, Scotland have to get going and they do start to creak

1:57:44 > 1:57:53forward. Price gets it short to Horne, All Blacks told to release

1:57:53 > 1:57:58him, Horne sets it back, Scotland come through once again. Jonny Gray.

1:57:58 > 1:58:06There is Barclay. Again. The Captain lays it back. Price gives it out to

1:58:06 > 1:58:11George Turner. He took that flat ball. The All Blacks told to let it

1:58:11 > 1:58:20go. It is slowing down now. Scotland move wide. Little chip from Russell.

1:58:20 > 1:58:22WHISTLE Penalty to Scotland, New Zealand off

1:58:22 > 1:58:28their feet and in Murrayfield a lot of people cheer but those who didn't

1:58:28 > 1:58:33hear the referee's blast.They didn't hear penalty advantage. I

1:58:33 > 1:58:38don't think they will scrum again, quick tap, and away they go.Cornell

1:58:38 > 1:58:43du Preez are trying to roll his way to the line. Price again. Offside,

1:58:43 > 1:58:48they cry! Price is so close, just an metre short. Jonny Gray is in there

1:58:48 > 1:58:55himself. Just short of the line, says the referee. The All Blacks

1:58:55 > 1:59:01told to let him go. Gilchrist in the red skullcap looking for it. Tommy

1:59:01 > 1:59:07Seymour as well. Price gives it to Barclay. The spin from Horne, no way

1:59:07 > 1:59:15through. Price taken off the ball, penalty to Scotland. The referee

1:59:15 > 1:59:26will have at least a word, and another card.On the man without the

1:59:26 > 1:59:32ball.He has been given his marching orders, I think it's Wyatt Crockett,

1:59:32 > 1:59:37and indeed it is.It is Wyatt Crockett. You cannot play the

1:59:37 > 1:59:43half-back. Although Ali Price put his hands on it he must lift it

1:59:43 > 1:59:47before the ball is play, you cannot do that. Yellow card for Wyatt

1:59:47 > 1:59:51Crockett. Sam Cane is just returning, almost high fives Wyatt

1:59:51 > 1:59:55Crockett on the way back on, still only 14 men. What is your decision?

1:59:55 > 2:00:01I think I would go to the corner. I don't have the faith in the Scottish

2:00:01 > 2:00:07scrum at the moment.Crockett obviously has to go off.Hames is

2:00:07 > 2:00:11coming back on. Fantastic scrummager. Even if they have seven

2:00:11 > 2:00:14in the scrum.

2:00:17 > 2:00:23Going to make a few rearrangements here because Wyatt Crockett is. Have

2:00:23 > 2:00:27to bring on a temporary replacement. Hames doesn't seem to be across the

2:00:27 > 2:00:39situation. Fifita is going off, the blank side flanker. An interesting

2:00:39 > 2:00:44decision for New Zealand, who do they put in the scrum? Sacrifice a

2:00:44 > 2:00:47back... They must respect the short side, the right side as we look at

2:00:47 > 2:00:53it there. It is too big a space for one defender to cover.Scotland have

2:00:53 > 2:00:57two score now, and they have the final ten minutes of this match with

2:00:57 > 2:00:59a man advantage.

2:01:03 > 2:01:13Nine minutes, 12 points. Price gives it wide. Through the middle goes Huw

2:01:13 > 2:01:19Jones. Again, the noise lifts. And Price... Penalty advantage to

2:01:19 > 2:01:25Scotland again. They need more than penalties, more than advantage, they

2:01:25 > 2:01:31need this try. Laid-back for Jonny Gray, back it comes. WHISTLE

2:01:31 > 2:01:41REFEREE:Lost control of the ball. Hang on... Number ten offside at the

2:01:41 > 2:01:46scrum.I think the crowd are upset because they felt du Preez should

2:01:46 > 2:01:52have gone on but they stopped at the whistle.I think the ball was

2:01:52 > 2:01:56knocked on, that's why there was no advantage. A fantastic performance

2:01:56 > 2:01:59by Scotland, but their attack when they are 6-7 metres out has been

2:01:59 > 2:02:04quite poor, little bit slow. You don't have to have the perfect set

2:02:04 > 2:02:08up every time. You just have to pick it up and play the ball. Don't let

2:02:08 > 2:02:11the opposition, particularly New Zealand, don't let them get set

2:02:11 > 2:02:20every time.This is a great attacking opportunity. See many All

2:02:20 > 2:02:26Blacks go in the scrum. Jones took the ball last. Horne, Finn

2:02:26 > 2:02:34Russell... Let's see what they do when it comes to that set scrum. A

2:02:34 > 2:02:40solid platform, they could launch left or right.Perenara making sure

2:02:40 > 2:02:45the back side nowhere to go. Right underneath the posts. The All Blacks

2:02:45 > 2:02:50put in a mighty heave. The ball is there. The penalty goes to the All

2:02:50 > 2:02:54Blacks. A wonderful effort by the All Blacks. The pressure came on and

2:02:54 > 2:02:58Scotland's chance seems to have gone.In some ways Wyatt Crockett

2:02:58 > 2:03:05being sin-binned is a bit of a diverse and -- disadvantage. Hames

2:03:05 > 2:03:09has been on the bench the last 20 minutes, he has had a bit of arrest.

2:03:09 > 2:03:14He comes off the bench and he is a destructive scrummager.Sometimes it

2:03:14 > 2:03:18looks like Berghan is in great shape, but Hames just powers through

2:03:18 > 2:03:21him. And so short as well. That power is all coming through and

2:03:21 > 2:03:25sometimes you have to take your hat off to the world's less than say

2:03:25 > 2:03:29under pressure, five metres from the line, when you have two, seven men,

2:03:29 > 2:03:34you produce another like that.Hames a late developer, had problems with

2:03:34 > 2:03:38a knee injury a couple of years ago and was danger of slipping away in

2:03:38 > 2:03:43rugby. But he is back. Because the problem is the All Blacks have had

2:03:43 > 2:03:49in the front row, he's got his chance, and he's a very, very

2:03:49 > 2:03:55effective scrum player. Scotland now, masters of their own demise

2:03:55 > 2:04:00here. A free kick to the All Blacks.

2:04:02 > 2:04:11Of course, they'd go for the scrum. They will look for another penalty,

2:04:11 > 2:04:14the All Blacks, to penalty their way up the pitch. They are slowing

2:04:14 > 2:04:17things down now, as they should, going towards the final five

2:04:17 > 2:04:21minutes, because pace is not their friend now, the All Blacks. They are

2:04:21 > 2:04:28a man down and don't need to play the quick pace.Disappointing to

2:04:28 > 2:04:36be... Your scrum ball, five metres from the opposition line, a man up,

2:04:36 > 2:04:40to concede a penalty... Very hard to win a game against the best team in

2:04:40 > 2:04:44the world when that happens.Codie Taylor. Try scorer goes. He is

2:04:44 > 2:04:52replaced by Nathan Harris. Cane going off as well. On in his place

2:04:52 > 2:04:59is Matt Todd, the Crusaders flanker. Fresh legs for the All Blacks, as

2:04:59 > 2:05:03they try and put the squeeze on the Scottish scrum again. Eight quick

2:05:03 > 2:05:08pick and go at the back by Liam Squire. Liam Squire is free now and

2:05:08 > 2:05:14he has support. Can't quite get that ball away. Sets it back now. Penalty

2:05:14 > 2:05:18to Scotland. And straight on the pitch, Matt Todd gives away the

2:05:18 > 2:05:23penalty.In fairness, poor defence at the scrum by Scotland but

2:05:23 > 2:05:27brilliant to cover all the passing options Squire had as he made the

2:05:27 > 2:05:33break. As he looked around, Scottish players were tracking back.Stepped

2:05:33 > 2:05:40inside Price. He's looking to give that pass but he can't.Quickly

2:05:40 > 2:05:45taken, Horne flies on Twitter at the back. A little slip from Seymour but

2:05:45 > 2:05:51he is in possession. Time running out for Scotland now. Still that man

2:05:51 > 2:05:55advantage. Wyatt Crockett off the pitch. The All Blacks have coped

2:05:55 > 2:06:02well with a man down and they get the penalty. Failed career out, and

2:06:02 > 2:06:08the work of Kieran Read applauded by the referee.Some tired bodies now

2:06:08 > 2:06:12for Scotland. The ball-carrier went to the ground really quickly.

2:06:12 > 2:06:20Scotland needed cleaners on him urgently.Again, the noise ebbs away

2:06:20 > 2:06:27at Murrayfield. The clearing kick by Beauden

2:06:27 > 2:06:31Barrett, not his finest, but New Zealand moving into the Scottish

2:06:31 > 2:06:33half.

2:06:38 > 2:06:42When you think about the cost this performance has come at for

2:06:42 > 2:06:46Scotland, with the injuries. Hamish Watson, Zander Fagerson off with

2:06:46 > 2:06:54concussion. And New Zealand, again, take their time. Nathan Harris

2:06:54 > 2:06:57saying he can't hear the instructions, but it was during a

2:06:57 > 2:07:03quiet time at Murrayfield. The free kick goes to Scotland. Gilchrist,

2:07:03 > 2:07:10into Whitelock. Friends from Gilchrist's time in New Zealand as a

2:07:10 > 2:07:26student. Horne. Pyrgos gives it away. Huw Jones to Stuart Hogg, a

2:07:26 > 2:07:33little chip for Seymour, gathers it, takes the pass and on for the try!

2:07:33 > 2:07:37What a try for Scotland! Is there still life in Scotland here at

2:07:37 > 2:07:44Murrayfield?Brilliant attack. A fantastic try. Three minutes to go,

2:07:44 > 2:07:49they are back in the match. This kick is really, really important.

2:07:49 > 2:07:54Taken quickly, as well. Watch this. Stuart Hogg frightens defences

2:07:54 > 2:07:57because he's so quick. Allows him to play that ball through. Seymour is

2:07:57 > 2:08:02on the end of it. Huw Jones, he can't stop scoring, his sixth try to

2:08:02 > 2:08:09Scotland. Wonderful attacking kick. And Huw Jones, he makes a fantastic

2:08:09 > 2:08:15school. As you say, Finn Russell's kick is very important. We'll look

2:08:15 > 2:08:21to take it quickly.Great support played by Huw Jones, to predict that

2:08:21 > 2:08:24the grubber kick was going to be gathered.

2:08:24 > 2:08:28So, Finn Russell to draw Scotland within five points with a couple of

2:08:28 > 2:08:31minutes remaining.

2:08:32 > 2:08:38CHEERING It is good from Finn Russell.

2:08:38 > 2:08:44And this restarts now, as Scotland clawed their way back to five

2:08:44 > 2:08:50points.So difficult when you are running that quickly. Seymour is so

2:08:50 > 2:08:54sharp to get on the end of it. The inside support played by Huw Jones

2:08:54 > 2:09:01gets another try. So, what a setup we have here at

2:09:01 > 2:09:06Murrayfield. Two minutes to go. And again, Murrayfield gives voice to

2:09:06 > 2:09:16all their hopes. Du Preez takes it. New Zealand will try and shut this

2:09:16 > 2:09:20game down. Still with a man advantage, Scotland. Wyatt Crockett

2:09:20 > 2:09:25in the sin-bin. Scotland within a converted try of the most famous of

2:09:25 > 2:09:36winds. Barclay. -- most famous of wins. Jonny Gray. A minute to go,

2:09:36 > 2:09:42they will have two come from so, so deep. Good picked up by du Preez.

2:09:47 > 2:09:53McInally ships it to Russell, and then Horne, Huw Jones again out

2:09:53 > 2:09:57wide. Hogg, Hogg steps on the accelerator, can't quite get away.

2:09:57 > 2:10:04Great tackle by McKenzie. Still there for Scotland. Still just

2:10:04 > 2:10:07inside their own half, though. Gilchrist.

2:10:11 > 2:10:16Towards the final seconds of this match. Is there one more effort?

2:10:16 > 2:10:24Carried on by party. -- Jamie Bhatti. Getting closer but still so

2:10:24 > 2:10:30far away. Wide now. Jones to Hogg and Hogg is through. Stuart Hogg,

2:10:30 > 2:10:35can't quite get there expand their ball infield and it's gone forward

2:10:35 > 2:10:41now. And the clerk will go red, and that might be it. That might be it.

2:10:41 > 2:10:49And the whistle blows. The tallest sound for Scotland here at

2:10:49 > 2:10:54Murrayfield. -- the most full of sound. What ever, so close, but it

2:10:54 > 2:11:00is the All Blacks who win again. What a finish to this game! Gregor

2:11:00 > 2:11:05Townsend, leave it. The last ball to Stuart Hogg... The courage and

2:11:05 > 2:11:10determination and ability Scotland had to challenge an challenge just

2:11:10 > 2:11:17fell short. The final score, 17-22 to New Zealand. Incredible effort

2:11:17 > 2:11:21from Scotland but that world-class team New Zealand won again.We have

2:11:21 > 2:11:26to quickly do a man of the match?I thought he was going to have the

2:11:26 > 2:11:30perfect ending to almost a perfect game. Man of the match, Stuart Hogg.

2:11:30 > 2:11:34Fifita played well for the All Blacks. John Barclay was good as

2:11:34 > 2:11:38well, but Stuart Hogg almost wins it for Scotland with this break. He has

2:11:38 > 2:11:44been such an influence, such an attacking threat. As you say... It's

2:11:44 > 2:11:51Barrett, the defensive hero. But the man of the match is Stuart Hogg. So

2:11:51 > 2:11:55close for Scotland.Every time you touch the ball today he looked like

2:11:55 > 2:11:59he was going to create something. Every time he touched the ball, made

2:11:59 > 2:12:02the right decision, whether it was covering the backfield and catching

2:12:02 > 2:12:06those clever kicks from Barrett or kicking it to the corner himself or

2:12:06 > 2:12:09carrying and getting outside people and defending. What a fantastic

2:12:09 > 2:12:14player. I think it's an opportunity lost for Scotland. They should have

2:12:14 > 2:12:18won that game. They had so many opportunities. If their scrum was

2:12:18 > 2:12:22more solid, their line-out gave them a great platform, but their scrum

2:12:22 > 2:12:28let them down. There are five major attack, when they were five minutes

2:12:28 > 2:12:31from the New Zealand line, they didn't create like New Zealand did.

2:12:31 > 2:12:36That was a big weakness in the Scottish side today.Well, so close

2:12:36 > 2:12:41again. You can see it in the face of Stuart Hogg. Victory for the All

2:12:41 > 2:12:46Blacks once again. Their captain Kieran Read is now with Sonia.

2:12:46 > 2:12:50When Stuart Hogg pinned his ears back and went for it did you think,

2:12:50 > 2:12:54hello, we are in trouble here?He's a dangerous player, isn't he!

2:12:54 > 2:12:59Luckily we have a quick player outside in Beauden Barrett, as well.

2:12:59 > 2:13:05Great Test match, great scrambling for both sides and greater tax.As

2:13:05 > 2:13:07tests go, as your number one status, how

2:13:07 > 2:13:09tests go, as your number one status, how big a challenge was it that you

2:13:09 > 2:13:14faced?A massive challenge. We knew it was going to be that way. They

2:13:14 > 2:13:18came out firing, threw the ball around and that is what Test match

2:13:18 > 2:13:22rugby is about.Two yellow cards, was it indicative of the pressure

2:13:22 > 2:13:26you were under at the death?I'm not sure, I would have to have a look

2:13:26 > 2:13:30and see what they were for. They came back well, once we got that

2:13:30 > 2:13:36lead. That is when you output games away. Credit to the Scots, they

2:13:36 > 2:13:41played really well today.Ioane is on the list of world Player of the

2:13:41 > 2:13:48Year. He has just proved again what a great player he is?Yes. You give

2:13:48 > 2:13:51him an ounce of spade and the speed and strength of the guys fantastic.

2:13:51 > 2:13:56Great to have him on our side. Just want to pay credit to the fans and

2:13:56 > 2:14:00the Scots for that Test match, certainly was an occasion.Thank you

2:14:00 > 2:14:05very much.And we can bring in Stuart Hogg, deservedly man of the

2:14:05 > 2:14:09match.My goodness, you had your heading your hand at the end, did

2:14:09 > 2:14:15you think that's it, we make history?We were very, very close to

2:14:15 > 2:14:19getting that. Credit to our boys, they were outstanding the whole

2:14:19 > 2:14:23game. So special to play in front of this crowd. Thanks to everyone for

2:14:23 > 2:14:28coming out here.In all honesty, did you think you could have won that

2:14:28 > 2:14:32game?Definitely. We firmly believe the week the challenge would be

2:14:32 > 2:14:37tough, we were aware of that... We just came up short, haven't we? You

2:14:37 > 2:14:42don't get to play these games on many occasions against the world's

2:14:42 > 2:14:47best. To come up just short is a bloody disappointment.Can you put

2:14:47 > 2:14:51your finger on why you feel you came up short, other than the fact the

2:14:51 > 2:14:55opposition was the All Blacks?A couple of mistakes here and there

2:14:55 > 2:14:59which allowed them to get back into the game. Something we can work on

2:14:59 > 2:15:03but... We can take some confidence from that and fire into Australia

2:15:03 > 2:15:07next week.Your captain is on your shoulder, John Barclay. A brief word

2:15:07 > 2:15:14first of all about the man of the match today, Stuart Hogg?How good

2:15:14 > 2:15:19is he?! It's scary. He was outstanding tonight. His attacking

2:15:19 > 2:15:23play is something that has been outstanding for the last couple of

2:15:23 > 2:15:28years and he is a very valuable player for us. The amount of work

2:15:28 > 2:15:32that was put into that performance throughout, from 1-23, hookers

2:15:32 > 2:15:36playing in the back row and guys coming on... We're gutted, to be

2:15:36 > 2:15:40honest, that we lost that game. Very proud of the effort, but... I think

2:15:40 > 2:15:46that's one that got away.Just give us an idea of how disappointed? In

2:15:46 > 2:15:49the cold light of day when you go back into the dressing room and

2:15:49 > 2:15:54start to reflect, will you see it as a missed opportunity?Absolutely, we

2:15:54 > 2:15:58know that already. We spoke in the week, you don't get too many

2:15:58 > 2:16:01chances, just because of scheduling and injury among selection. I

2:16:01 > 2:16:05definitely think we let one get away today. It is disappointing, but we

2:16:05 > 2:16:10have to look at a lot of the positives. One of the best teams in

2:16:10 > 2:16:14world sport, not just rugby, let's not forget that. What we've done is

2:16:14 > 2:16:19pretty good, but obviously we have to finish the job off next week.

2:16:19 > 2:16:23What sort of impact is Gregor Townsend making on the squad?He is

2:16:23 > 2:16:30taking over from Vernon, who took Scotland a great distance. Greg has

2:16:30 > 2:16:33come in and done the same thing, brought in a lot of his ideas. You

2:16:33 > 2:16:36can see the way we are trying to play, the intent and the speed we

2:16:36 > 2:16:41are trying to play with. It is fun to be part of. I want to say... I've

2:16:41 > 2:16:44played a number of times, that is the loudest I have ever heard

2:16:44 > 2:16:47Murrayfield. We are disappointed we didn't get a result but hopefully we

2:16:47 > 2:16:54can get it done next week.Hard work.Thank you.Just a couple of

2:16:54 > 2:16:58minutes before that epic run by Stuart Hogg at the end, Andy Nicol

2:16:58 > 2:17:02stayed here in the studio. Scotland nearly scored again. They missed

2:17:02 > 2:17:07conversion and it would be 22-22 one third drawer. It was agonisingly

2:17:07 > 2:17:13close to that in the end Steve Hansen is the man who is happy.

2:17:16 > 2:17:23Steve, boy, bit relieved?Not relieved. We expected Scotland to be

2:17:23 > 2:17:30strong and they were. That is what Test match rugby is about.What you

2:17:30 > 2:17:34you the edge, two yellow card that the death, you are under the pump?

2:17:34 > 2:17:38We were, prolonged periods. But we believed in ourselves and they

2:17:38 > 2:17:43showed that.Were you surprised how good Scotland work?No, they have

2:17:43 > 2:17:47won the last four games and beat Australia and they are a good side.

2:17:47 > 2:17:52A little bit frustrated it was two yellow cards? It could have been the

2:17:52 > 2:18:01third... The tip tackle on Hogg?You just get frustrated when it is not

2:18:01 > 2:18:06consistent, consistency is good.Why do thing it wasn't consistent?

2:18:06 > 2:18:10Consistency is about both teams. You win the line-out, take it down and

2:18:10 > 2:18:14everyone charges forward, they are offside.The fact you have won this

2:18:14 > 2:18:17Test match, given that Scotland played exceptionally well, what does

2:18:17 > 2:18:21it say about the resilience of this young All Blacks side?We are really

2:18:21 > 2:18:25proud of them. We are having to work hard at the moment, and it's all

2:18:25 > 2:18:32money in the bank. We have a lot of experience not here at the moment. I

2:18:32 > 2:18:36thought Scotland were outstanding today.Well done to them. Looking

2:18:36 > 2:18:38forward to locking horns with the sudden Warren Gatland again next

2:18:38 > 2:18:44week?We are playing Wales, not Warren Gatland. I'm looking forward

2:18:44 > 2:18:50to playing Wales.Well done today. STUDIO: Never the easiest of

2:18:50 > 2:18:54interviews, Steve Hansen. He always has a good line. If he's not

2:18:54 > 2:19:00relieved, you must be relieved? Yeah... For a long time our

2:19:00 > 2:19:04competitive advantage was our isolation. We were playing

2:19:04 > 2:19:09Australia, South Africa regularly. But to see games like this, this

2:19:09 > 2:19:12quality, regularly now, and the flow of talent and the coaches and that

2:19:12 > 2:19:18has been shared globally, it creates games like this. It is fantastic to

2:19:18 > 2:19:23see, I must say.What do you say, that was the moment?It was. It was

2:19:23 > 2:19:27a great occasion. I said before the game, this is the game, let's see

2:19:27 > 2:19:31the progress we all thought Scotland had made to validate against the

2:19:31 > 2:19:36best team in the world. It is real, genuinely real. Scotland and Stuart

2:19:36 > 2:19:43Hogg in particular pushed the best in the world to a try saving tackle.

2:19:43 > 2:19:46That is brilliant, really good. Listen, there were times, there will

2:19:46 > 2:19:50be things they will be disappointed with, but so much bravery in the

2:19:50 > 2:19:54performance to come back. This was at the end. Finn Russell just pulled

2:19:54 > 2:19:59the strings all day long. Brilliant line from Stuart works to be mass

2:19:59 > 2:20:03Hogg. Beauden Barrett, that is a match saving tackle, just when the

2:20:03 > 2:20:11whole of Scotland were on their feet. Stuart Hogg brilliant, and

2:20:11 > 2:20:15this was the moment, you think, if he goes over... Finn Russell has a

2:20:15 > 2:20:18chance to win it. But a brilliant performance. Scotland should be very

2:20:18 > 2:20:24proud.I wonder what Gregor Townsend was thinking as Stuart Hogg was

2:20:24 > 2:20:33tearing to the line... Let's hear from him now.Very, very proud. I

2:20:33 > 2:20:36sounded like Alex Ferguson there! The way we defended in the first

2:20:36 > 2:20:41half and the way we played a lot of the rugby in the first half was a

2:20:41 > 2:20:45great starter for us. I think the way we attacked in the second half,

2:20:45 > 2:20:50built a lot of pressure, created opportunities to score and created a

2:20:50 > 2:20:55lot of penalties. But the spirit and the courage at the end, to play the

2:20:55 > 2:20:5822 and almost score, it would have made the perfect day, but it was a

2:20:58 > 2:21:03great performance from the team.You had your head in your hands when
