Scotland vs New Zealand Rugby Union – Can Scotland Get Their First Ever Win Over The All Blacks?

After the huge win over the USA in their first Quilter Nations Series match, Scotland face a much tougher challenge as they welcome New Zealand to Murrayfield. The All Blacks have dominated this fixture previously, winning 30 of the 32 meetings between the two sides. Scotland have never beaten New Zealand, but could that be about to change? Read our guide to find the latest team news and match info, along with our Scotland vs All Blacks prediction.

Scotland decimated the USA last time out. An 85-0 win was their biggest ever win at Murrayfield, their third biggest overall. While a Scotland win was expected, there were few who imagined such a huge margin of victory.

The All Blacks, though, present a completely different proposition. New Zealand have had the upper hand in previous meetings between the sides, with 30 wins and 2 draws in their 32 previous meetings with Scotland. It’s likely they’ll continue that record in this one, but this is arguably Scotland’s best chance of breaking that hoodoo.

Scotland have had a hit-and-miss 2025 so far. From their nine fixtures in all competitions, they’ve won five, but they’ll certainly be spurred on by their fantastic win in their first Quilter Series fixture.

As for the All Blacks, they began their Quilter Nations Series with a 26-13 win against Ireland. It was a tight game in the first half, but the second half saw New Zealand show their class. A good start, and they’ll be looking for a second consecutive win in this one.
