Score
29-26 to Scotland
Woke up at 5:30AM to catch all of the 2nd half. Both teams obviously missing a lot of stars
Maybe put spoilers around score discussion because many fellow Scots will be watching catch-up this morning.

Caught the last ten. An almighty defense from Scotland to hold on. Yellow could well have been a penalty try too
Apparently it was a non-capped test match so not sure how much it counts but I’m pleased with the effort away from home at any rate.
You tuned in at the perfect time to have a heart attack!
On a train to London right now so caught last 10 of Wales - Japan. Now watching FRA - NZ with French commentary, "mais oui, mai oui, c’est superb - quelle match!
I was thinking that - if it was a maul, it would have been. So why when its the only defender 5m out from a quick tap would it not also be?
(I dont think either should be penalty try + yellow - one or the other is sufficient punishment for mine).
Was a hell of a game though eh - good atmosphere, relatively evenly matched teams. I heard someone saying it was around a b/c level Scottish team with so many of the A-listers with the Lions; but it would be a struggle to call the Maori ABs even a C level NZ team at the moment. There’s a handful of starting SR players, 0 ABs squad members* and the reserve halfback wasn’t even in a SR squad this year.
In fact of the entire team the only SR starters I can think of were the two locks, TK Howden, Rivez Reihana and Bailyn Sullivan who was shunted out to right-wing as soon as Proctor came back from injury.
*Walker-Leawere was called in as injury cover for a week last year & TK Howden is close to knocking on the door.
Yeah, we’re very much B team territory. And the MAB were C if that. Good to see Scotland lay down a gauntlet all the same, I’d love to see Scotland get a proper crack at the All Blacks again - it’s never that often!
Horne put a shift in. He should have been a Lion.
