All Blacks overcome three yellow cards to stay unbeaten against Scotland
EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) --- New Zealand preserved a 120-year unbeaten record
against Scotland after winning a gripping contest 25-17 at Murrayfield on
Saturday.
The All Blacks blew a 17-0 halftime lead and overcame three yellow cards to win
their 33rd test with Scotland.
Scotland fought back to tie the score on 17 with a quarter to go. The Scots
were held up over the line twice and knocked-on on the try-line twice.
The game wasn't decided until the 74th minute. The All Blacks waived a penalty
shot for an attacking lineout, drove it the line and were stopped and threw it
to the backs. Damian McKenzie produced a spectacular finish near the left
corner flag when he threw off Scotland's Blair Kinghorn and slipped George
Horne and scored on his back.
He couldn't convert his own try but added a long-range penalty to quell any
Scotland comeback hopes.
After beating Ireland in Chicago, the All Blacks were halfway to a Grand Slam
of the home unions with England next at Twickenham.
