Last time v New Zealand

Scotland were edged out 22-17 at Murrayfield in November 2017 in a thrilling match which saw Jonny Gray and Huw Jones score tries for the home side. Stuart Hogg looked like he would go in for a score-equalising try in the dying seconds which would have given the Scots a kick at goal to win the game, but he was brilliantly tackled by Beauden Barrett.
