Video summary
Press to jump
- 0:54Wallace Sititi breaks through Scotland's defence for the opening try.
- 1:29Ewan Ashman answers from a driving maul, beginning Scotland's repeated success at the line-out.
- 5:12Repeated infringements bring New Zealand a yellow card and leave them temporarily a player short.
- 6:52Despite the numerical disadvantage, New Zealand send Beauden Barrett into the corner.
- 9:34Ashman completes his hat-trick from another rolling maul before half-time.
- 13:24Barrett's milestone finish and the match's closing outcome come in the final passage.
Scotland have just made their extra player count when New Zealand find an answer out wide. Still short-handed after a yellow card, the All Blacks work the ball through the backline and Beauden Barrett finishes in the corner.
That exchange gives the official All Blacks channel's Edinburgh mini match much of its flavour: Scotland keep finding a route through the rolling maul, while New Zealand find openings elsewhere. Ewan Ashman supplies all of Scotland's tries, completing his hat-trick before half-time. Wallace Sititi's early breakthrough and Ethan de Groot's close-range finish help build the visitors' advantage.
Barrett returns to the try line in the second half to reach 50 Test tries, a milestone the channel also celebrates in a separate upload. New Zealand finish 43-21 winners.
The mini match drew roughly 173,000 views in its first 11 hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for regular videos. The comments are busier than a normal first day, too.
Viewers single out Barrett's milestone and Scotland's persistence. One recurring point of amusement is the scorer missing from the occasion: Will Jordan, whose absence from the try list earns its own joke in the comments.

Scotland hanging in there for a good part of the match, nice job.
@julesgamingnstuffSee it on YouTubeAs a neutral I really enjoyed this game lots of quality attacking play from both sides, NZ are definitely getting better and developing more depth as well, thought the Scottish open side was terrific in a losing cause by the way, he ran himself to a standstill as the saying goes .
