Gregor happy with victory over the Maori

July 06, 2025

GREGOR Townsend was pleased to see Scotland’s summer tour “start on a positive” after his side held on to claim a 29-26 win against Maori All Blacks in New Zealand.

Having got off to a shaky start when Sam Nock crossed for the hosts, Scotland were able to clinch victory in the non-cap international with tries from Harry Paterson, Arron Reed and two either side of the break from George Horne.

A late scare saw the Maori reduce Scotland's lead to three points with 10 minutes to play, but head coach Townsend was pleased to see his less experienced side prevail in Whangarei.

He said: “The Maori are a quality side and I suppose we decided to put a team out that wasn’t as experienced knowing that it'll be a great development and learning experience for them.
