Scotland beat the Maori All Blacks for the first time 26-29


some of our play was dreadful, just 60 seconds remaining and we get a huge break with a Maori knock-on up in their own half so of course scotland chose the "safe" option and try hold out but yet another bit of amateur play and whoever it was leaves himself isolated which led to yet another turnover, then the remainder and the added 6 mins of constant Maori attack, i think they went through a stage of 28 phases at one point before the expected Advantage but Scottish defence held out brilliantly must be said :), even when it was 12-29 i was convinced the Maori's would go on to win it as Scotland were getting absolutely nowhere and it didn't help taking off George Horne and Adam Hastings, 60+ mins on the clock and Scotland had four scrums just metres from the Maori sticks and even with the extra man in the scrum they just couldn't make anything of it.


on to two tests now v Fiji and Samoa with eight players on Lions duty

after watching them today i'd be happy winning against at least one of them
