Scotland v New Zealand live: Score and updates as hosts seek historic first win over All Blacks in international rugby clash

TRY! Scotland 14-17 New Zealand

The hosts move within five points after another superb passage of play!

It stems from clever work from captain Tuipulotu. New Zealand stand up the maul and the inside centre has to come back in, and he does so well, cracking the gain line before the hosts work it wide.

It comes to Kinghorn and he’s got Steyn wide outside him, and he finds the winger with a vital long pass to allow him to cross over!

Russell adds the conversion and we have a game here!

More encouragement for the hosts after winning a penalty, and it’s followed by a good kick from Russell to land the line-out around eight metres from the line.

TRY! New Zealand 17-7 Scotland

Scotland set the maul early and drive forward before Ashman, at the front of the maul, escapes and dives over!

The conversion takes Scotland within 10 points.

In addition, the All Blacks have another yellow card as captain Savea is sin-binned for dragging down the maul!

New Zealand 17-0 Scotland

The hosts win possession straight away after a New Zealand knock-on, before they make it into the 22 after Schoeman breaks the gain line.

The hosts take the line-out and it’s won easily enough, with Berry giving them an advantage before Russell’s kick in-behind the defence is slightly inaccurate and Jordan collects.

Scotland have another chance then from the line-out.

HALF-TIME! New Zealand 17-0 Scotland

It’s a long way back for Scotland now, especially considering they failed to capitalise on Carter’s sin bin, but the home crowd will have some hope after promising moments in the first half.

However, the reality is that – bar one occasion – when the defence has been tested, it hasn’t quite been good enough so far.

What does the second half have in store at Murrayfield then?

HALF-TIME! New Zealand 17-0 Scotland

That conversion was the final act of an entertaining half at Murrayfield.

Both sides have played well at times but once again the All Blacks’ intelligence, quality and occasional brute force has been the difference against Scotland.

The hosts face an uphill battle to secure a first win in 120 years against New Zealand!

TRY! New Zealand 17-0 Scotland

The New Zealand scrum results in a penalty advantage but they don’t need it, with the ball coming out to Will Jordan before he releases Satiti. The number eight turns on the pace to evade a tackle before returning the ball inside to Jordan, who crosses under the posts.

Barrett lands the extra two and we go into the break with New Zealand 17-0 up!

New Zealand 10-0 Scotland

Great defending from the visitors again as they win a penalty after Ben White was dragged back to his feet from the tackle, and he is pinged for not releasing.

A New Zealand kick ends with a Jordan knock-on but Scotland can’t capitalise as Kinghorn’s long looping pass ends up going forward on the wing, and we’ll come back for an All Blacks scrum.

De Groot has returned to the action for the visitors.
