Scotland vs New Zealand LIVE rugby: Result and reaction as hosts denied historic win over All Blacks

Scotland’s wait for a first victory over New Zealand continues as the All Blacks fought back to claim a 31-23 win at Murrayfield

Reaction after New Zealand win Women's Rugby World Cup

Scotland were denied a historic first victory over New Zealand as a nine-point lead against the All Blacks slipped through their fingers in the autumn internationals at Murrayfield.

In the first meeting of the teams in five years, New Zealand made lightning start to quiten the Murrayfield crowd with scores from Samisoni Taukei’aho and debutant Mark Telea inside seven minutes.

But the match turned following a chip-and-charge from Stuart Hogg, resulting in a penalty try and yellow card for Anton Lienert-Brown. Scotland took full advantage, with Darcy Graham intercepting and then finishing a brilliant try to level.

The returning Finn Russell kicked Scotland into the lead before half time, before stretching their advantage to nine points after the break. But New Zealand hit back when Jack Dempsey was shown a yellow card for a knock-on, and Scott Barrett crashed over to help restore their lead.

And a second try from Telea late on sealed New Zealand’s win, as Scotland were made to regret missed chances earlier in the contest. Follow live reaction from Scotland vs New Zealand, below.

Scotland 23-24 New Zealand

73 mins: Penalty New Zealand! It’s been the story of the game. The All Blacks were sloppy earlier on but they have tightened in the second half, with Scotland now making the costly errors. Graham comes in from the wrong side and Barrett boots into the corner. The All Blacks have about 60 seconds left of their man advantage.

Scotland 23-24 New Zealand

70 mins: And here New Zealand come. They looked to be moving the ball confidently but then Barrett rather strangely kicks through, and Scotland are able to clear.

All they need to do is hold on and hope to go again in the final five or so minutes, when they are back at full strength.

Scotland 23-17 New Zealand

65 mins: The pressure builds from New Zealand... They work through the phases and look to attack down Scotland’s throat - it breaks to Dalton Papali’i who looked to have a free run at the line but Scotland do just enough to hold them back, but is there a penalty in here?
