It was the same old story for Scotland against New Zealand as they lost 43-21 in matchday four of the Nations Championship at Murrayfield.
The All Blacks extended their winning run to 34 matches against the Scots, who collapsed in the second half after a promising start in Edinburgh. The result means it’s now two wins and two defeats for Gregor Townsend’s men in the new-look competition.
Despite the odds being against Scotland, as always, Murrayfield was packed to the rafters with supporters hoping to witness a historic result. It wasn’t to be on the day - but with the traditional team bus arrival, iconic New Zealand Haka and three tries to celebrate, there was still more than enough entertainment in the capital.
With an A-list US singer in the crowd, as well as New Zealand rugby royalty, here’s 13 photos from Scotland versus the All Blacks at Murrayfield:
