Scotland chases first All Blacks win in 121 years
Scotland faces New Zealand on Saturday in a bid to snap a 121-year winless streak against the All Blacks.
Scotland has not beaten the All Blacks in 121 years, but they arrive for Saturday's Test in Edinburgh with genuine hope. The Scots have transformed their form over twelve months: they hammered England's 12-game winning run, put 50 points on Grand Slam-chasing France, and pushed world champion South Africa hard in Pretoria.
Last year they fell to a late Damien McKenzie try when the score was locked at 17-17. Dave Rennie's All Blacks are stronger than last year, back to their traditional brand of pace and power.
Scotland's key will be staying tough for the full match and taking their early chances.

Why it mattersBreaking a 121-year curse would be one of rugby's great upsets and reshape how Scotland sees itself in Test rugby.
