Spirited Scotland fall to New Zealand at Murrayfield

Scotland threaten to cause a major upset before eventually falling to a 24-16 defeat at the hands of New Zealand at Murrayfield.

Scotland threatened to cause a major shock against New Zealand in this evening's Test at Murrayfield before eventually falling to the might of the All Blacks.

New Zealand went over for the first try inside the opening 10 minutes when number-eight Victor Vito powered over in the corner, with Dan Carter missing the conversion.

Carter's miss meant that Scotland took the lead when they hit back almost instantly with a try of their own. Tommy Seymour intercepted Vito's pass and stormed through for an easy touch down under the posts.

Before the break, Carter added three more successful penalties to one from Greg Laidlaw, giving the world champions a 14-10 lead at half time.

Laidlaw was successful with two more penalties either side of a Colin Slade kick to bring the Scots within one, but he then missed the chance to give the home side the lead with 10 minutes on the clock.

In the end, the All Blacks came through 24-16 thanks to Jeremy Thrush's 74th-minute try.
