The perfect result for Scotland, and good ground gained. 3:02PM Taukei'aho makes important ground in Scotland's 22, as the All Blacks continue to nibble forward, Clarke setting up down the blindside, but Scotland are lock up very well here, Gray thundering in to make the stop. Scotland win a scrum, but play pauses as Graham is patched up. He's bleeding after possibly getting a stray boot to the face. 2:58PM New Zealand, now eager for the fightback, make impressive ground with the maul, before passing off to Christie, who sets up Whitelock. Scotland knock on for a New Zealand scrum, but there's a pause as Gray is tended to. 3:11PM The line-out is impressively managed as Scotland attempt to drive the maul forwards towards the tryline. Scotland is granted a penalty, but they play out the advantage switching to th){kind=link}
