The Haka now, and Scotland paying the necessary respects to this age old tradition
Brilliant atmosphere as usual, good to see from the Scottish
Scotland have never beaten New Zealand in 29 meetings. Some key battles to look out for are Finn Russell vs Dan Carter. Russell made his debut against Argentina last year and showcased some good skills and decision making behind a pack who dominated the game. Across the field from him will be the worlds record test point scorer who makes his first test start for the year. Carter will no doubt draw on his vast experience to control the game.
Another battle will be between Richie Gray and James Parsons. Gray had a stunner of a game last week against the Pumas, and will look to do much of the same vs New Zealand today. Parson makes his first full test debut, and will want to impress the All Black selectors to stake a regular claim to starting future games.
go the abs
Is this on TV?
Scotland welcome the All Blacks to Murrayfield who will be brimming with confidence after their win against England last week. Dan Carter makes a return the starting line up , in one of a few changes made by the All Blacks. Scotland remain unchanged from their game against the Pumas last week, with the Scottish coach believing that his unchanged side will test the All Blacks.
A fascinating game ahead, and will no doubt deliver a lot of action in all facets and areas of the game.
Good luck for today Scotland
