New Zealand survived three yellow cards and a ferocious second-half surge to keep their unbeaten run against Scotland intact, edging a breathless contest at Murrayfield. Tries from Cameron Roigard and Will Jordan and a Beauden Barrett penalty built a 17-0 halftime lead. Scotland roared back as Ewan Ashman and Kyle Steyn scored, with Finn Russell levelling from the tee while Ardie Savea sat in the bin and Wallace Sititi later followed. Replacement Damian McKenzie then wriggled over late and added a long-range penalty to break Scottish resistance.
