New Zealand debutant Mark Telea scored two tries to help the tourists claw their way back from nine points down to see off a feisty Scotland 31-23 in Sunday’s test at Murrayfield.
The All Blacks outscored their hosts by four tries to two but for large parts of the game were on the back foot, recovering in the final 15 minutes to keep up their unbeaten 32-test, 117-year unbeaten record against the Scots.
Samisoni Taukei'aho and Scott Barrett scored New Zealand’s other tries while Jordie Barrett put over 11 points with the boot. A penalty try and intercept effort from Darcy Graham were Scotland’s scores plus three penalties and two conversions from Finn Russell. But it did not take long for the game to undergo a dramatic transition as Scotland responded quickly.
Scotland took advantage of the extra man to score a second try two minutes later as Darcy Graham intercepted the ball but still needed to slip two tackles before crashing over.
