If we're going to do it we want to do it NOW

Scots wing king Darcy says time is right to finally beat All Blacks

- STUART BATHGATE

DYNAMIC Darcy Graham reckons Scotland are now good enough to “go toe to toe’ with any rugby team on the planet.

But he knows it will still take a colossal effort at Murrayfield on Saturday if his side are to beat the All Blacks for the first time.

It has been a case of close but no cigar for Scotland the last few times the teams met, losing by five points in 2017 and then by eight in 2022.

This Scots side is arguably better than three years ago.

But Edinburgh wing Graham, 28, is well aware that something special will be required to get the better of world No.2 New Zealand.

He said: “We can go toe to toe with anybody but we need to be at our best for a full 80 minutes.

“They're no mugs. They're an incredible team with the chemistry they've got behind them so theyre going to be coming here as favourites.
