New Zealand react in time at Murrayfield

New Zealand react in time at Murrayfield

Sports Newsroom, 13 November. New Zealand needed a remarkable reaction in the final half of the match to seal victory over Scotland at Murrayfield (23-31) in the last big friendly of the weekend.

The ‘All Blacks’ were close to going as Scotland trailed 23-14 before half-time, but their ability allowed them to turn the situation around and substitutes Scott Barrett and Mark Delia, Jordie Barrett, sealed their victory. A second autumn friendly on British soil.

Their start was strong with two scores early on from Samisoni Taukeiaho and Delia (0-14) but little by little Scotland made strides until they went into the break with a 17-14 lead. 23-14, which brought the Sea team back to life.

This victory for New Zealand ended a strong friendly competition, for example, Italy won its first ever victory against Australia (28-27), England did not take kindly to Japan (52-13), Wales beat Argentina’s Pumas (20-13) and France the current world champion. Defeated defending champions South Africa (30-26).

Italy host South Africa next Saturday, Scotland host Argentina, England host New Zealand, Ireland host Australia, Wales host Georgia and France host Japan on Sunday. EFE
