WE HAVE TO BELIEVE WE CAN WIN THIS FIXTURE

Skipper knows what victory over All Blacks would mean on such a historic day

- BY ANTHONY BROWN

SIONE TUIPULOTU and Scotland are relishing the challenge of trying to mark 100 years of Murrayfield by conquering the All Blacks for the first time ever this afternoon.

The Scots have never beaten New Zealand in 32 attempts over the past 120 years. And Australia-born captain Tuipulotu knows how significant it would be to finally defeat the most illustrious team on the planet on the day they wear their “Murrayfield 100” kit specially designed to commemorate a century of Scotland's national rugby stadium.

“It's massive, he said. “When I was growing up in Australia there weren't many times we beat the All Blacks, but now I'm over here we understand how big an occasion this is.

“[ still think the All Blacks are a big part of this sport and playing them is always a massive opportunity.
