A moment of New Zealand magic denied Scotland a famous victory in a pulsating contest at BT Murrayfield. With the game firmly in the balance, Sonny Bill Williams broke through the midfield before offloading to Damian McKenzie, who fed Beauden Barret to maintain the All Blacks' hold over Scotland with a 22-17 win. For all their hard work in the first 40 minutes, Scotland were dealt a harsh blow at the start of the second half through some slack defence. With Scotland full of renewed hope, it took a moment of set-piece brilliance from New Zealand to effectively end the game as Barrett raced in to re-establish the 12-point gap. Hogg made a last-gasp, brilliant burst for the line but knocked on metres out to end a pulsating second period.
