00:00:03This great Edinburgh Amphitheatre, where legends have been forged, and sporting history scribes.
00:00:10Mackenzie has played a winning end for the Oblix, and Stuart Hawke from the corner can't quite get there!
00:00:18Oh my goodness!
00:00:19One thing the Old Place has never seen, is a Scotland win over New Zealand.
00:00:24Where are you?
00:00:28That's what New Zealand can do! Here's Canada!
00:00:31Here he is again!
00:00:32The stories this spot can tell.
00:00:34Darcy Graham has got the football!
00:00:37Scotland came roaring!
00:00:39So close, but it is the All Blacks again who win!
00:00:49Murrayfield here in Edinburgh has been the scene of many great Scottish rugby triumphs.
00:00:54The one that has eluded them for well over a century, victory over the All Blacks.
00:01:00This afternoon as they meet for the 34th time, the Scots get another shot at glory.
00:01:05Tēnā koutou koutou, nāu mai haere mai, welcome to Murrayfield in Scotland.
00:01:09The continuation of the nation's rugby championship.
00:01:15Joined in commentary by All Blacks centurion Mills Bouliana.
00:01:19Kia ora tātou, welcome into our coverage of the title for lava.
00:01:24Yes, Nisbo, the atmosphere really starting to build.
00:01:26We've already had a few games in the championships.
00:01:30And I'll tell you what, there's a real sense and belief that Scotland, this could be their day.
00:01:36Of course, haven't beaten the All Blacks in 33 attempts.
00:01:41But could today be that day?
00:01:43It's been a really emotional week for the All Blacks.
00:01:46Certainly, they're going to go out there and play with all their heart and soul.
00:01:51So the current standings in the nation's championship Ireland with their win last evening.
00:01:58Leading in the north and South Africa, a big win earlier today in the south.
00:02:04Well, today's weather, the showers haven't happened, which is terrific.
00:02:09It's been a very good week in Edinburgh for weather as we venture inside the All Black dressing room.
00:02:17And as Mills mentioned, it has been an emotional week with the loss of Logan Cadwalader,
00:02:26the head of security for the All Blacks.
00:02:29And it has been very difficult for them to concentrate on the game of rugby.
00:02:34But they have really focused for this one.
00:02:37tradition, of course, very much on their side.
00:02:4033 games played between these two nations.
00:02:43The All Blacks have won 31 of those.
00:02:45And there have been two draws.
00:02:49Packed out Murrayfield.
00:02:50It doesn't get much more traditional in a rugby sense than Murrayfield in Scotland.
00:02:57And the All Blacks first winning in this part of the world back in 1905.
00:03:04The Scots have been close on a couple of occasions, notably in 1964 and 1983 with drawn games, but have
00:03:14yet to crack one.
00:03:22So we're just waiting for the arrival of the two teams.
00:03:29On to Murrayfield.
00:03:32On to Murrayfield.
00:03:32Cody Taylor.
00:03:36We'll lead out the All Blacks.
00:03:38The All Blacks.
00:03:39And Sione Tui Pelotu.
00:03:42For Scotland.
00:04:02So on to Murrayfield come the All Blacks.
00:04:22Now the very popular Scottish captain.
00:04:27And Sione Tui Pelotu to bring his side out.
00:04:31The All Blacks, as you've seen, wearing the white jerseys today.
00:04:37Carrying the poppy for Armistice Day, which is next Wednesday.
00:04:41And also the black armbands.
00:04:43In commemoration of the sudden loss of Logan Kadwarada.
00:04:50We are all black and white.
00:05:18The All Blacks.
00:05:48George Watson's College, and Logan Cadwallader, the All Blacks Head of Security, who we sadly

00:06:26service of our country to be able to go home. Please join us and ensure the silence after
00:06:32our local hybrid Christmas place, ours in the forest.
00:17:14up long enough for white just 15 meters out from the scottish line and a bit of an angle here
00:17:25now
00:17:26for ben white to be able to clear and he does so punching it into touch just out from the
00:17:3222
00:17:33a really positive start there from scotland dempsey he was the guy that took the ball in
00:17:38but they've got a bit of leeway down that right hand side the all blacks quick transition first
00:17:44line out of the game swapped so taylor to throw one easily by scott barrett as taylor joins the fray
00:17:5710 out from the 22 one stop roy guard driving him on
00:18:03still making good progress roy guard with his arms on the ball now he delivers for mckenzie
00:18:10barrett pops it off right and center field and it sets up again for roy guard mckenzie spins it wide
00:18:17for bowden barrett not able to beat the tackle of jamie dobey out on the left wing side now he's
00:18:25taylor
00:18:25the skipper driving through the scott the all blacks through fletcher new roy guard good hands to tt
00:18:42quickly moved on a little bit of space here for josh morby
00:18:48and advantage advantage was andrew brace
00:18:52so a penalty advantage and the all blacks have a decision to make early milts yeah they do
00:18:58just trying to feel their way through that first real opportunity to try and get some rhythm into
00:19:03the game fin russell dobby the other two guys offside just coming up on that outside channel
00:19:10all blacks well they're going to go to line out again they got some real success earlier on in that
00:19:14mini drive it's a real big area that the all blacks will feel they can try and out muscle scotland
00:19:20and today
00:19:21numbers first real attacking opportunity of the game seven seven three and a half minutes gone
00:19:28and taylor taken down by holland got an advantage here's a charge for the line
00:19:38and the all blacks go in early through wallace satiti
00:19:44completely pulled the scots and satiti through to score oh great bit of innovation there
00:19:51from the all blacks he's getting the pad on the backs in the coaching booth but
00:19:56they just tried to shift in that left hand side which drew a lot drew a lot of defenders
00:20:01here we go here here's holland one they got that right two point white faded away but they
00:20:07actually shifted it off to wallace satiti now how fitting
00:20:10that wallace scores the first try of the game
00:20:19well he had some real work to do and the all blacks strike early
00:20:26here's mckenzie
00:20:29and just fading away to the left so it's unconverted
00:20:34but what a telling blow in the opening four minutes of the game clean line out win by fabian holland
00:20:42and the deception from the all blacks produced the try for wallace satiti
00:20:55back to halfway and the restart contested and play on says the referee as white
00:21:05swings it across into midfield haven't seen a lot of time in the all black territory as yet
00:21:11here's the kick from russell just overdone it and they'll have to go back
00:21:17you can see what he's trying to do there russell
00:21:20they sweep to that left hand side and then russell himself
00:21:25went to the right hand and tried to get someone
00:21:28to kick past the all blacks see they had those numbers on that blind side
00:21:33short up really nicely
00:21:34good gap please
00:21:38for scotland on the line scotland on the line
00:21:45cody taylor for the all blacks
00:21:50now the good clean line
00:21:51for holland
00:21:59taylor still controlling it but getting pushed backwards a wee bit here so they'll need to clear it
00:22:04and so roy guard goes to the air
00:22:09nicely taken down but morby is there to make the tackle
00:22:14as white lobs it across into midfield
00:22:18to pelotu so dangerous in the midfield in partnership with hugh jones
00:22:25so scotland in possession just on their own side of halfway here is russell
00:22:29stretching for it is kyle row
00:22:32and his kick drifting away towards the touchline and that is a beauty
00:22:3850-22 i think that's both
00:22:43that's massive from roe
00:22:46the execution here look at this from toipalotu evades of play out there's a big match up in the
00:22:51midfield great boot to ball and first opportunity of the game for scotland they're in a huddle
00:22:58to come up with something and a response to that first point up well that first try from the all
00:23:03blacks
00:23:07so ewan ashman
00:23:11let's see if the all blacks put a man up
00:23:15no they don't they concede to scott cummings
00:23:20now the scots will try the direct route and here come some backs as reinforcements
00:23:28have a little bit of momentum as well
00:23:32still not quite at the five meter mark now they are beautifully coordinated
00:23:39and schmidt it is scored one 12 months ago it scores again i'll tell you what they've got a
00:23:47a bit of help from their backs but they certainly got some
00:23:50and also from the crowd they just wooed them in but they needed to stay patient did scotland
00:23:59the all blacks while they defended it the initial threat as they go up in the air they stayed
00:24:05patient but have a look at their drop they actually dropped their body height as they stayed patient
00:24:09then they spun away ashman needed to stay composed and that's what he done and there's your response scotland
00:24:20well both tries in the game have originated from lineouts
00:24:24and there's your response
00:24:38so russell to give scotland the lead in the game
00:24:43scotland converts the try scored by ewan ashman scotland ahead by seven to five you've got to love
00:24:50the way they went about this you've got to remember it was a 50 22 as well
00:24:53roe was the guy that got them there they stayed nice and composed and also clinical scotland
00:24:58he was using the ball
00:25:08bowden barrett from halfway looking to claim it once again as dempsey the australian born number
00:25:17eight for the scots now ben white now inside
00:25:25makes the kick charging at him hard was tubo vayi taken down in the finish by
00:25:33quinn tupaya now de groot looking to get satiti into a gap nice hands moving it on
00:25:41warby away lakai not such a good paid pass but geordie barrett finally pulled it in
00:25:50and they've got to the 10 meter line in scotland's territory they've got an advantage too
00:25:55they've got an advantage too here's satiti the try scorer
00:26:00come away from the tackle
00:26:08you're seeing the ability of the all blacks in in their transition that broken play the kick goes back
00:26:14the ability for their forwards particularly in the middle of the park to get straight back
00:26:18back in into position lakai and also setiti were in there so that become an option
00:26:22just lost their way a bit with lakai's pass geordie barrett cleaned it up
00:26:25look at this this is a skill set in keeping the ball alive
00:26:32geordie barrett as well wonderful
00:26:36okay we're inside scotland open up scotland
00:26:40line out on the 22 for cody taylor now hold
00:26:53you're inside so stay inside respect the gap otherwise it's a free kick
00:27:00right right now that's it and taylor
00:27:03for holland now lakai away for royguard mckenzie running hard
00:27:09and almost to the line was will jordan as the all blacks
00:27:22only two or three meters to go royguard serves it up again mckenzie just hesitated for a moment
00:27:30good spot defense but the all black keep the ball alive through josh morby
00:27:35tackle release now the ball's there royguard
00:27:44contained by the scottish defense
00:27:46that's the group gets the pass wide morby's there good charge by vaite snapped up by ethan de group
00:27:56just six or seven meters short of the line here the all blacks
00:28:00little dab here's fletcher newell good carry by the tight head prop royguard again
00:28:08hammering away at the scottish defense royguard goes down the blind side
00:28:13and they're going to consult
00:28:16i think held up over the line yeah it was i think it was real jordan
00:28:21yeah he was good defense there from scotland
00:28:28you know what you're seeing the all blacks in their clean out work it's so efficient
00:28:33one person's trying to get over the ball bam they're getting rid of them
00:28:43it's just explodes out here some desperate defense from dempsey got his body just underneath that ball

00:29:25I'll make sure they come in, but it's a free kick next time.
00:29:30I'm going to bring them in.
00:29:32That's not the issue, mate.
00:29:36Time on.
00:29:37Okay, time on.
00:29:39The goal line dropout from Finn Russell.
00:29:45Taken down well by Geordie Barrett.
00:29:47Here now is Satiti.
00:29:50Right in centre field here, the All Blacks,
00:29:52as Roygaard swings it away for McKenzie.
00:29:55Vahey.
00:29:57Roygaard again.
00:29:59Quinn Tapia in the headgear today.
00:30:03It's there again for Roygaard.
00:30:06Scott Barrett.
00:30:08Shoveled across.
00:30:09Here's Holland.
00:30:11Good ball carried by the big man.
00:30:13Roygaard gets there.
00:30:15Drops it off.
00:30:16Short pass for Cody Taylor.
00:30:20Roygaard goes again.
00:30:22Satiti looking to bust his way through a couple of tackles.
00:30:26It's there again for Roygaard.
00:30:29Taylor wants more.
00:30:31Happy to hold the ball.
00:30:33Now McKenzie.
00:30:37Looking to thrust his way through a midfield.
00:30:39It was Josh Morby.
00:30:42Now Jordan.
00:30:44Up to Geordie Barrett.
00:30:48Scott's defence holding up nicely.
00:30:50Here's McKenzie.
00:30:52Drops it off to Larkai.
00:30:55And it will be there once again for Roygaard.
00:30:58Haven't cracked this defence as yet.
00:31:00Hammering away.
00:31:04Now Roygaard.
00:31:05Geordie Barrett.
00:31:08Here's McKenzie.
00:31:10Away for Josh Morby.
00:31:15Floating away out on the right wing side.
00:31:16Scott Barrett.
00:31:17Tupaya.
00:31:19Bowden Barrett.
00:31:21Now Will Jordan.
00:31:23Good defence.
00:31:24He's still offloaded.
00:31:25And Bowden Barrett was able to drift the kick away downfield.
00:31:30And the victory there for the Scottish defence to go quickly.
00:31:35And Russell.
00:31:37Bangs it off down the wards halfway.
00:31:40All Blacks tempted to go quickly.
00:31:41Decided against her.
00:31:43I think they'll want to start again in line-out time.
00:31:46That was an excellent defence from Scotland.
00:31:49Got right underneath him.
00:31:51Did White underneath.
00:31:53Will Jordan keep the ball right.
00:31:54Excellent decision here from Bowden Barrett.
00:31:57Put the foot.
00:32:00All Blacks go quickly.
00:32:01Again.
00:32:02So now McKenzie.
00:32:04Tupaya busting the first tackle.
00:32:06Gets almost to halfway.
00:32:08Ball there for Roygaard.
00:32:09Swings it off to his left.
00:32:11McKenzie goes wide.
00:32:13Vahey.
00:32:13Nice offload.
00:32:14And now here's Bowden Barrett with his pace.
00:32:16Drops it onto the boot.
00:32:18Bounce of the ball will be interesting.
00:32:20But it's well controlled by the Scots.
00:32:25Barty didn't release.
00:32:29Quickly taken Roygaard.
00:32:30Off he goes Roygaard.
00:32:32Looks to pop it up.
00:32:33Does so to Holland.
00:32:35Now here's De Groot.
00:32:36Ethan De Groot almost.
00:32:38Claiming the try and getting it.
00:32:41Ethan De Groot for the All Blacks.
00:32:43Oh I tell you.
00:32:45That was all muscle from Ethan De Groot.
00:32:48Got a little bit of momentum.
00:32:52But the lead up from that.
00:32:54On that left hand side.
00:32:56They swung.
00:32:56As you mentioned.
00:32:57Look at Tupou Vai.
00:32:59Two defenders.
00:32:59Yes around the back.
00:33:00Morby shows some great skill as well.
00:33:03And the left foot chip.
00:33:05From Bowden Barrett.
00:33:06They go quickly.
00:33:07Recycle here.
00:33:08Have a look at Ethan De Groot right there.
00:33:10Nice bit of width.
00:33:11And he just pops into that hole.
00:33:13Shows plenty of muscle.
00:33:14Over he goes.
00:33:14The big fella.
00:33:15On the line.
00:33:17Then held up after.
00:33:18Fifth test try.
00:33:20Sixth test try actually.
00:33:21For Ethan De Groot.
00:33:24Since 2021.
00:33:28Try has been confirmed.
00:33:30And so.
00:33:30Happy on that back.
00:33:32Is Damien McKenzie.
00:33:34To look at adding the extras.
00:33:37Which he does.
00:33:39So two tries to one.
00:33:4216 and a half minutes gone at Murrayfield.
00:33:45And the All Blacks lead by 12 points to seven.
00:33:49The width here that he keeps.
00:33:51With Ethan De Groot is vital.
00:33:52He doesn't gravitate in and panic.
00:33:54He just keeps his width.
00:33:55And that allows him.
00:33:56To be able to show a little bit of footwork.
00:33:58But the muscle also.
00:33:59And the determination to get the ball down.
00:34:01Outstanding work from Ethan De Groot.
00:34:03All behind.
00:34:05Right.
00:34:0510.
00:34:06Up.
00:34:12Russell.
00:34:12From halfway.
00:34:14Goes short again.
00:34:17And the Scots couldn't play it.
00:34:19It hadn't gone the 10 metres.
00:34:20So the All Blacks did.
00:34:22And it's there for Roygaard.
00:34:25McKenzie onto the boot.
00:34:26Haven't seen much of that so far.
00:34:30These two sides kick the least of anybody in international rugby.
00:34:37On average.
00:34:39Scotland kick it 20 times a game.
00:34:41The All Blacks 19 on average.
00:34:45Just two sides in it.
00:34:47Just wanting to play.
00:34:48It's been talked about a lot this week.
00:34:51Gap.
00:34:52Gap.
00:34:53Gap.
00:34:55Gap.
00:35:05Gap.
00:35:05Gap.
00:35:05Tontoriall advantage in the game.
00:35:07Scott Barrett drops the pass off.
00:35:10Once again this continuity of play.
00:35:13A little kick through by Barrett, being snapped up by left winger Dobie.
00:35:23They're inside the 22, so can look to the touch if they need to.
00:35:28There's White.
00:35:30Gets it away to Rory Darge.
00:35:33And the All Blacks get another penalty.
00:35:37The Scots copping it early.
00:35:40The neck rolled there that they're calling.
00:35:44He's clearly on the neck.
00:35:46Just flooding.
00:35:48Putting heaps of pressure on that ruck ball.
00:35:58So the penalty against Jack Dempsey.
00:36:02Good gap up and down. New Zealand up and down.
00:36:05He's gone.
00:36:07Yes, you can see him. I think it might have been on the...
00:36:10Maybe on Josh Morby.
00:36:13So another big opportunity here. 19 minutes gone in the game.
00:36:17Two tries to one so far.
00:36:19As Cody Taylor goes short. Barrett.
00:36:23A little variation on the line out.
00:36:25And they've got good way on here.
00:36:27Really good way on. And to the line they go.
00:36:31The try scored.
00:36:35Try number three.
00:36:38And it is the captain, Cody Taylor.
00:36:41Oh, the captain will pick it up.
00:36:42I tell you, the innovation from the All Blacks right now in line out time is exceptional.
00:36:48They dummied a couple of times.
00:36:50They stayed down on their feet.
00:36:54Cody Taylor threw it to the front.
00:36:55But have a look at the body height straight away of those players that went to work.
00:36:59Look at that.
00:37:00All in unison.
00:37:02Small little e-steps.
00:37:03And Cody Taylor just sits in the middle of that.
00:37:04And over he goes.
00:37:05Outstanding work from the All Blacks forward pack.
00:37:12Try number 26.
00:37:15In test rugby.
00:37:17For the All Black.
00:37:19Centurion hooker.
00:37:24McKenzie from out wide.
00:37:26And.
00:37:27Didn't really hit it well.
00:37:29Didn't even quite get there.
00:37:31But 17 to 7.
00:37:37There's that innovation right there.
00:37:39Scott Barrett stayed down the body height.
00:37:41Look at that.
00:37:42Yeah, he's happy.
00:37:44You've got to be after that.
00:37:49Two quick tries.
00:37:51See the All Blacks out to a good lead.
00:37:53This time Russell goes longer.
00:37:56Ball taken down by Jordy Barrett.
00:38:01There's Roygaard.
00:38:03Swings it away for Newell.
00:38:05The All Blacks take it outside.
00:38:07They're 22.
00:38:08Now McKenzie goes to the boot.
00:38:11Thumping it hard.
00:38:13Down the centre.
00:38:15Claimed here by fullback Kyle Rowe.
00:38:18In Scotland.
00:38:20With an opportunity to use the ball.
00:38:23Haven't seen a lot of it.
00:38:25Now here's Gregor Brown.
00:38:27Now.
00:38:28The big lock forward.
00:38:30Penalty coming against the All Blacks here.
00:38:36Good charge downfield.
00:38:40Now the ball goes loose.
00:38:43Xander Fagerson lost it forward.
00:38:46Tackler, you're good. Tackler first.
00:38:49It's a penalty against the All Blacks.
00:38:51This is really good.
00:38:53On Scotland.
00:38:55The All Blacks not attempting to kick that ball out.
00:38:57Giving it back to Scotland.
00:38:59Brought it back with some real endeavour.
00:39:01Then they showed a bit of muscle as well.
00:39:04Now.
00:39:07Last time they were down this end they picked up five points on the other side of the field from
00:39:11the driving wall.
00:39:2122 minutes gone first half the try scorer Ewan Ashman
00:39:31once again the All Blacks don't challenge
00:39:36and once again the Scots calling the backs in that this has gone down but
00:39:41it's illegal so a penalty advantage being played here
00:39:49now looking to thump their way up there's White gets it away for Fagerson
00:39:58Zander Fagerson still playing under penalty advantage back the new one
00:40:04now the wide pass and a chance out on the left for Dobie
00:40:12can't get it down but could be a Yamo coming here
00:40:16and it is Peter Lakai who will have to leave the field for 10 minutes
00:40:27he's gone straight to the pocket he's saying there's five different advantages
00:40:32five penalties in a row Scotland
00:40:35threatening
00:40:37yeah but that's back there if you want it back there that's fine
00:40:44so the All Blacks down to 14 and they have to defend yet another
00:40:48line out five metres long and not rolling away
00:40:52we'll come back Yeah
00:41:07we'll come back
00:41:09we'll come back
00:41:20crowd right behind the scottish pack he's through the scene legal he's come through
00:41:25as uh tupo bait and strapping towards the line
00:41:32no held up desperate defense on the part of the all blacks
00:41:39scotland yeah just trust me i'm clearly here and you're back there

00:42:12it's just there it is his arm right underneath it desperation because he actually missed him
00:42:18grab not happy but the tmo ollie hodges has cleared it and now the all blacks have also cleared it
00:42:26down as far as dempsey and the big number eight comes thumping up field
00:42:32and the all blacks meet up 12 meters on their own side of halfway s2 peloto drops the short pass
00:42:39off
00:42:49on the other side of the side of the field it's a big big danger out on the right wing
00:42:54side kyle
00:42:55stane now rory southerman carries it up for scotland white again brown
00:43:04To Palautu, gets it away for Kyle Rowe. Good tackle, Jordy Barrett.
00:43:09Now it's with Dahj.
00:43:14Penalty coming, an illegal tackle by Quintu Paye.
00:43:19So the danger is not yet over for the All Blacks.
00:43:24OK, penalty advantage back on the 24.
00:43:27Scotland keep the pressure on. There it is again for White.
00:43:32And Kyle scored. They couldn't hold them any longer.
00:43:39And he scored a double, Ewan Ashman.
00:43:42You can't underestimate the work that Ashman had to do there.
00:43:46Because yeah, they were getting a lot of momentum.
00:43:49There was an advantage played for a penalty on the 22.
00:43:53They just showed, look at that, nice little wee ball there.
00:43:58To Palautu, he's been good this first half.
00:44:01Some real inroads. Offloads have been key as well.
00:44:06Be real concerning there for the All Blacks.
00:44:09And as he goes over, Ashman for a second.
00:44:12Through Wallace to Titi.
00:44:13Roy guard tips to come across.
00:44:15And the big hooker goes over for a second try.
00:44:29So Russell again converts. And the gap closes. 17-14.
00:44:55Still another six and a half minutes for the All Blacks to be playing with 14.
00:45:05Still another six and a half minutes for the All Blacks to be playing with 14.
00:45:07But one, who even used several 15 games is 8.
00:45:07And Eden Barren once again down to Dempsey.
00:45:11Right by Jordan.
00:45:15Yes! And Use It.POSIT.
00:45:18Now Ben White. Now Ben White.
00:45:21Inside again, yeah.
00:45:22Called back in the 22.
00:45:22Inside again, yeah. Ricc
00:45:23перед sitting inside the 22.
00:45:25And Use It! It's under the
00:45:27foot.
00:45:28So now White.
00:45:32This time looks for the safety of the touchline.
00:45:36Takes it down almost to halfway.
00:45:39Ben, nine.
00:45:42Ben, with the ball's to the side, he's entitled to come around,
00:45:44so just be careful.
00:45:45I feel he was just on the last one, mate.
00:45:47Yeah.
00:45:53Now Taylor.
00:45:54Let's go.
00:45:56Gap is fine.
00:45:5712 minutes till the break.
00:46:02Light out one by now McKenzie.
00:46:05Away for Tupaya.
00:46:09Roygaard shovels it off for Wallace Satiti,
00:46:12making good ground down to the 10-meter line.
00:46:16Now Roygaard, change of direction, McKenzie.
00:46:19Bodenbarron, here's Tordy Barron.
00:46:21And he says to get the ball to the ball,
00:46:23and the referee was playing another advantage.
00:46:25Ball down.
00:46:28Yeah, number six.
00:46:29Thrown across number six.
00:46:31And this one against Matt Fagerson.
00:46:36And it came at line-out time by the look of it.
00:46:40So it's way back towards halfway.
00:46:43It was a long advantage.
00:46:45It was a long advantage.
00:46:45I think you feel that.
00:46:47Scotland might just think they're hard done by here.
00:46:50Got him from going across the line in the line-out time.
00:46:53It's an area that Scotland repeated a lot.
00:46:56Just giving the All Blacks that opportunity to get themselves back in the game.
00:46:59Of course, four and a half minutes.
00:47:00Peter Lakai will come back onto the field.
00:47:06Damien McKenzie, who was the star of the show here 12 months ago,
00:47:11puts the ball into touch on the 22.
00:47:27Now Taylor.
00:47:30Holland drags it in once again.
00:47:32They've got a drive.
00:47:34Cody Taylor.
00:47:37Now they get some momentum as Taylor brings it away.
00:47:42Gets good support here from Jordy Barrett.
00:47:45They've got him up off the ground, but he's now down.
00:47:48So Roygaard feeds it up for Satiti.
00:47:52Nice.
00:47:52Stepping again.
00:47:54Snapped up by Newell.
00:47:56As the All Blacks threaten, seven or eight metres short of the line.
00:48:00Roygaard finds Satiti again.
00:48:07All available.
00:48:09Roygaard up for Scott Barrett.
00:48:14Roygaard drops the short pass off for Vahit.
00:48:19Now he goes again.
00:48:20McKenzie and Bowdoin Barrett.
00:48:24Test try number 49 for the veteran.
00:48:29Wonderfully set up.
00:48:32From the All Blacks.
00:48:35Their clean-out work has been so efficient when they're down this side of the park.
00:48:39Have a look at this ball from McKenzie.
00:48:41Will Jordan.
00:48:42He's acted as a decoy runner.
00:48:44Goes right in front of his face.
00:48:46And the veteran.
00:48:47All that experience from Bowdoin Barrett to go over.
00:48:59Big try that one with a man on the naughty chair.
00:49:04The All Blacks have picked up the try.
00:49:11Now McKenzie looking to extend the lead to 10.
00:49:18And he does so.
00:49:20Damian McKenzie.
00:49:23So Bowdoin Barrett joining Doug Howlett on 49 test tries with that charge.
00:49:34Scott has made a change too.
00:49:38Yeah.
00:49:39Schumann has gone on to the field in jersey number 17.
00:49:45We had a scrum yet?
00:49:46I don't think we had.
00:49:5131 minutes.
00:49:53Now the Scots have the ball once again.
00:49:59Ball is there for White.
00:50:03Now Russell drops it away.
00:50:07Nice run.
00:50:09There's White.
00:50:10Another penalty advantage coming in.
00:50:11Here's two Pelotu.
00:50:14The Scots have always looked dangerous when they've been down this end of the park.
00:50:18Oh no.
00:50:19Oh no.
00:50:20Not another one.
00:50:21Scimicore in the side.
00:50:23Oh dear.
00:50:28This time it's Wallace Soteti.
00:50:30So they'll have 13 men.
00:50:34For one minute anyway.
00:50:36Like I do back shortly.
00:50:39This is a real concern for the All Blacks.
00:50:42The infringing.
00:50:43Particularly when their line's been broken.
00:50:45I know there's desperation.
00:50:48Scotland.
00:50:49They're going to go to that corner.
00:50:52Yeah.
00:50:56Let's take a look at here.
00:50:57He's saying.
00:50:57He's cynical.
00:51:02Yeah he was part of the tackle.
00:51:06So now here's Scotland hammering away.
00:51:10Looking for their third try.
00:51:11Oh they've knocked it on.
00:51:13Big call.
00:51:17And we are going to have a scrum match.
00:51:18Oh that is massive.
00:51:20You're right.
00:51:21Peter Lakai will return.
00:51:23So they'll go to 14 players.
00:51:25But that is massive from the All Blacks.
00:51:2813 men.
00:51:2830 more foreign balling players.
00:51:30You've got to remember they're both forwards as well.
00:51:32Yeah.
00:51:32Thanks.
00:51:32Yeah.
00:51:35First scrum of the game.
00:51:37What?
00:51:3834 minutes in this boat.
00:51:40Unbelievable.
00:51:43Okay let's go.
00:51:48Scotland have made a change as you say in the front row.
00:51:51On the basis of not having had a scrum.
00:51:53No!
00:51:57He's a quality player though.
00:52:03He's a quality player though.
00:52:05today so the big pressure here on this all-black scrum
00:52:20holding nicely though so roy got in fact not only holding oh that's fantastic what a great
00:52:27scrum that is outstanding no no no and fletch and you'll just a little bit of verbal in the face
00:52:34of skewman and why not why not let's put some context into this seven men in the scrub on their
00:52:41own line they absolutely outpowered scotland there they won the moment from line out then
00:52:48they backed it up with another huge moment at scrum time and they get themselves out
00:52:53some serious trouble the all-blacks
00:52:58well the relief might only be temporary although it will be the all-blacks throw 10 out from the 22
00:53:11might just add that the all-blacks have already gained a bonus point
00:53:14by scoring four tries in this first half
00:53:20now mckenzie swings it away downfield wanting to play the game
00:53:26on the scottish side of halfway and off goes kyle stain one of the real stars of the scottish team
00:53:34outstanding on the right wing side
00:53:39okay no more now all-blacks putting plenty of pressure on committed now there's a wide gap opening up
00:53:51excellent run by dobby carried on now by row
00:54:00that'll be another penalty as white gets it away for dempsey
00:54:08white all that's broken down here now russell though snapped it up could still be dangerous
00:54:14here's jones very close to the line white up it goes to grego brown
00:54:24that might have held him up here but there's a penalty advantage pending i suspect well back
00:54:30clearly clearly clearly short held up yeah i know scott's felt they might have got there but
00:54:39certainly that's not helpful no no no that's not we're hot on the line break again no no no
00:54:43that's not helpful those comments
00:54:47could you understand that let's see what the last one but there's another
00:54:52what andrew brace has to say here i spoke to you there post try in the last one about too
00:54:57many
00:54:57penalties i need better discipline from your team now okay that's two yellow cards and there's too
00:55:01many penalties 15 not rolling away i can't reward if the tackler's still in the wrong in the road
00:55:07so he's on the ball back yeah 15 yeah
00:55:13any time
00:55:1410 so this penalty is against boadden barrett they're not rolling away
00:55:2315 not rolling away first things first
00:55:28so now the scots will have another crack from a line out close
00:55:39found their voice once again
00:55:44halftime just three minutes away big part of the game this
00:55:50the all-black's defending with 14 ashman's already got two
00:55:56and he's going to look close to getting three
00:56:00and he does
00:56:07oh what a day ashman built off some pressure
00:56:14from the scotsman who went to the corner the line out driving they've got it
00:56:18right down this into the field has been impeccable have a look at this he stays
00:56:22patient as all hookers do in this
00:56:24area small little east steps and he just needs to fall over the line and that's
00:56:29what he does crucial just before the break scotland
00:56:33right back in this
00:56:34and that's what he does
00:56:34and that's what he does
00:56:54and scotland very much back in the game
00:57:09and that's what he does
00:57:12and that's what he does
00:57:15and that's what he does
00:57:1890 seconds to go
00:57:22and that's what he does
00:57:22and that's what he does
00:57:23and that's what he does
00:57:24and that's what he does
00:57:30and that's what he does
00:57:31and that's what he does
00:57:32and that's what he does
00:57:34and that's what he does
00:57:37and that's what he does
00:57:38and that's what he does
00:57:39and that's what he does
00:57:42and that's what he does
00:57:46and that's what he does
00:57:53They'll be disappointed with that. That was unnecessary.
00:57:58Really good chase from Will Jordan.
00:58:05Yes, it was Xander Faggerson, the tight head prop, changed his line.
00:58:16So right on half-time, golden opportunity again here for the All Blacks.
00:58:20Again they go to Holland.
00:58:23Taylor latches on at the back of the mall.
00:58:26Scotland defending well at the moment though.
00:58:29And away goes Cody Taylor, driven down on the tackle of Rory Darsh.
00:58:37Here goes Roygaard, making good ground.
00:58:40Taylor snaps it up again.
00:58:42Boy, if the All Blacks can strike again before the break.
00:58:46Roygaard sends it wide.
00:58:52Again feeds it up for Vey.
00:58:57Looks to the right.
00:59:00This time it's Quintupaya.
00:59:05Scottish defence holding at this vital time of the game.
00:59:1040 minutes gone as Newell.
00:59:16Just near the 22.
00:59:18Scott Barrett now.
00:59:23Struggles his way to the 22.
00:59:28Taken in by De Groot, one of the try scorers.
00:59:31Roygaard has a little look.
00:59:33Now Larki.
00:59:35Ball available.
00:59:36Again.
00:59:37No, it's not.
00:59:39Scotland had rights to that one.
00:59:42He got to the ball first.
00:59:43He won the risk.
00:59:45Right here.
00:59:46Fletcher Newell not convinced at all.
00:59:49But the referee's made his call.
00:59:51Got to the ball first.
00:59:52And Scotland, I think, will boot this out.
00:59:54And bring the curtain down on the first half.
00:59:57Which has been memorable, to say the least.
01:00:00Oh, he hasn't put it out.
01:00:02Jordan's taken it beautifully.
01:00:04And off goes Will Jordan.
01:00:05Gliding his way into opposition territory.
01:00:08Got his pass off.
01:00:10But Ornard dropped the ball.
01:00:12And now here's Ashman.
01:00:13He scores three tries.
01:00:14What else can he do?
01:00:17He wasn't sure.
01:00:18He ran across field.
01:00:21Now White.
01:00:23They're going to have one last shot at the Scots.
01:00:26Just before half-time.
01:00:27Referee gets in the road.
01:00:33There it is for White.
01:00:36Russell drops a short pass off.
01:00:39Here's a chance.
01:00:41Little kick through.
01:00:42All Blacks Racing just boot it.
01:00:44And he does.
01:00:45Boots it into touch.
01:00:46Josh Warby.
01:00:48Boy, oh boy.
01:00:49And that is the end of the first half.
01:00:52Full of thrills.
01:00:55And at half-time here at Murrayfield.
01:00:58The All Blacks.
01:01:0024.
01:01:01Scotland.
01:01:0221.
01:01:09Welcome back.
01:01:10And welcome to the Expedia half-time show.
01:01:12We've got you covered with everything you need to know from the first half.
01:01:16Wow, what a first 40 minutes.
01:01:18One scrum.
01:01:19That's why it's such a good game.
01:01:20Come on, Goldie.
01:01:21Sorry, James.
01:01:22I don't want to go deeper in that.
01:01:24But ultimately, this has been bizarre.
01:01:26Two yellow cards.
01:01:27I mean, this game's well and truly hanging in the balance.
01:01:30It certainly is.
01:01:30And we've just been off the pace.
01:01:32You look at the, I suppose, the impact.
01:01:34The Scottish, you know, they've had eight line breaks to our four.
01:01:37Which is a massive stat when you think about it defensively.
01:01:40I'd imagine stat two was, get inside the 22 gold and you get points at the moment.
01:01:45Yep.
01:01:45Absolutely.
01:01:46And the All Blacks, they got the fast start they were looking for.
01:01:48Chipper.
01:01:49While the strategic goes through the line out.
01:01:51Look, ultimately this sort of game took a little bit of time to get momentum.
01:01:54And it's been certainly forward dominating.
01:01:55What a half.
01:01:56Yeah.
01:01:57You and Ashman, what sort of halves are you here?
01:01:59Well, probably for the other two, these are just easy tries for the hooker.
01:02:04But his next one is absolutely electric.
01:02:07He's a pocket rocket.
01:02:08But that's been the story of the half.
01:02:10Both sides have got those easy entries into the 22 because of the ill discipline.
01:02:15The group's obviously been mobile around the park.
01:02:17And here he is getting a try.
01:02:18The big man wasn't going to be stopped there.
01:02:20But you're right.
01:02:21You just get inside the 22 at the moment.
01:02:23And there seems to be no resilience defensively.
01:02:25Probably on both sides.
01:02:26Here's another one.
01:02:27Cody Taylor, line out drive.
01:02:29The line out's been good.
01:02:30Yeah, I really like that.
01:02:31I like that variation.
01:02:32I like, actually, the accuracy.
01:02:34I'm surprised Scotland aren't competing defensively.
01:02:38But then they get the opportunity in the 22 and a nice pocket rocket try from Ashman.
01:02:43It's been back and forward, right?
01:02:44Both teams back and forward.
01:02:45A little bit of ill-discipline.
01:02:46Gives a little bit of territory.
01:02:48And then there's a beautiful line for Bowden Barrett.
01:02:51He scores.
01:02:51And then just before half-time, though, Beaver and Scotland get another opportunity.
01:02:55And they do it.
01:02:55And they do it well.
01:02:56And this is not just entry into the 22.
01:02:58This is discipline as well.
01:02:59Goldie, which I'm sure we'll buy it into shortly.
01:03:01But again, it's just forwards.
01:03:03And it's that man Ashwin who's...
01:03:05Jipper's your favourite hooker in World Rugby at the moment.
01:03:06I know, Malcolm Marks is.
01:03:08But he's working his way up the pecking order.
01:03:12Look, if you think about this game and you think about preparing for it,
01:03:15I think there's been a couple of nice line-out variations.
01:03:17Your expertise, Jipper.
01:03:19The first job, though, is you've got to hit your spots, right?
01:03:21You've got to hit them.
01:03:21And the All Blacks have done that.
01:03:23And they've done some simple things that have created opportunities.
01:03:25Yeah, and I think they've clearly done their homework that this Scottish defence
01:03:30is sort of half in, half out.
01:03:32And first up, they look to bounce out.
01:03:34They expect the All Blacks not to take them on up front.
01:03:37And they were sort of right.
01:03:38They bluffed it and Wallace went through the middle.
01:03:40And then this is really nice.
01:03:42A little bit of a fake jump.
01:03:43Stay on the ground.
01:03:43And what that allows you to do is get set and low.
01:03:47And lowest man will always win.
01:03:48And they had the ability to get there first.
01:03:50And then it was just all the way.
01:03:51Once it gets moving like that, it's hard to stop.
01:03:53And of course, it's set up by the fact that you've gone and got the Wallace try to start with,
01:03:57isn't it?
01:03:57Under variation.
01:03:58All of a sudden, Scotland second-guessing themselves.
01:04:00What are they going to do now?
01:04:01Just come through the middle.
01:04:02Try.
01:04:03Yeah.
01:04:03It's the best I've seen our line-out operate.
01:04:05I know other parts of our game hasn't, but it's been very good.
01:04:08Talking about the parts of our game.
01:04:10Incredibly ill-disciplined.
01:04:12And forcing yourself to play with 13 men.
01:04:15Against a very good opposition.
01:04:18This is something the All Blacks have had issues with in the last few years.
01:04:21And it's hurt them.
01:04:23They've scored four tries to three.
01:04:25They certainly haven't played their best rugby.
01:04:27But this is the sort of stuff that invites the opposition into the game.
01:04:31No, it invites them.
01:04:34You literally, no team in world rugby can survive when they go down a men and it's just, on
01:04:40the scoreboard, it's all directly related.
01:04:42And all justified, Jipper.
01:04:43I mean, when you get back-to-back and repeated infringements, in some ways maybe you're leaving
01:04:47a little bit unfortunate not to concede another one.
01:04:49Those are just things that put your own team off your game.
01:04:53I feel as though the All Blacks, even though they're leading at half-time, they haven't been
01:04:56themselves for the first 40.
01:04:58No, they certainly haven't.
01:04:59And I think a lot of it's around the decision-making further out from the field.
01:05:02Once the line breaks happen, that's when the ill-discipline comes.
01:05:05You've got to actually not sacrifice that easily.
01:05:08If you get them behind, don't look for those cheeky turnovers because you're never going
01:05:11to be in a square position to do so.
01:05:14Let's talk defensively though, Beaver.
01:05:15The fact that the All Blacks have been opened up, Jipper mentioned the number of line breaks.
01:05:18What's happening a little bit wider in those defensive channels?
01:05:21Yeah, I think it's just connectivity around probably the guys sort of from 12, 13 winger out
01:05:25in those wider channels, which are sometimes loosies, sometimes those guys with the jerseys
01:05:29on the back.
01:05:29And when you're trying to shut, if you're not going together, then that opens up holes.
01:05:33And we are up against a quality playmaker who's got the ability to hold the ball and then
01:05:37bring runners into those gaps created by an unconnected goalie.
01:05:41Are you guys as uncomfortable as I am a little bit right now?
01:05:44Oh yeah.
01:05:44Given the signs that we saw in the first 40 minutes where we're not clearly on top of
01:05:48our game, and Scotland have got their game plan, and when you're presenting them opportunities
01:05:52right now for the All Blacks, they're taking them.
01:05:54Yeah, look, I still think we've got the strength in our bench.
01:05:57I think we'll have a bigger impact from our bench and that'll dictate the result.
01:06:01But certainly, certainly nervous.
01:06:02For me, I feel if we can put 10 minutes, 15 minutes together, where we don't just give
01:06:07them an invite into our 22, we might go bang, bang, bang, and it could be game over.
01:06:11But right now, at 24-21, you have to be a little bit nervous.
01:06:14So Scotland have been here before.
01:06:16Scotland have been in this position before.
01:06:17They're right there with the All Blacks.
01:06:19What do they do?
01:06:20How do they go about managing the next 40 minutes?
01:06:23Well, I think they've won this part of the game defensively.
01:06:26They're creating so much time in their own tackle.
01:06:28It's not allowing the All Blacks to punch onto the ball.
01:06:31They're being very passive, ball in hand.
01:06:32If they can keep that defensive pressure throughout this next 40, that puts them right in this contest.
01:06:38Yeah, for me, we've seen the blueprint.
01:06:40They just have to get a territory.
01:06:42They get down there whatever way they can, and then all of a sudden they're putting pressure on us.
01:06:46Well, there's no doubt this game is well and truly in the balance.
01:06:49Rav is here from the TAB, and I'm fascinated as scarily as a little bit for me.
01:06:53I'm feeling that as well, Rav.
01:06:55Look, there's so much for us to look forward to in the second half of Murray.
01:06:58But at the moment, the game and the balance, the All Blacks...
01:07:00...
