Scotland welcome New Zealand to Murrayfield today, with Gregor Townsend eyeing a bit of history.

Both teams come into this one on the back of victories; Scotland smashed the USA 85-0 in Edinburgh last weekend, while the All Blacks saw off Ireland 26-13 at Soldier Field in Chicago.

They now turn their attentions to Scotland, who have never beaten the Kiwis, adding some extra incentive to proceedings.

Townsend has made some bold selection decisions, dropping Duhan van der Merwe for the first time in his Test career, while Scott Robertson’s squad arrive in the Scottish capital with a number of injury concerns.

Here is everything you need to know.
