Rugby union Nations Championship match between Scotland and New Zealand at Scottish Gas Murrayfield.
Scotland take on New Zealand at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Saturday 7 November, kick-off at 2:10 pm. It's part of the Nations Championship, the tournament that replaced the old summer tours and autumn tests and pits the best teams of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres against each other across two series, three rounds in July and three in November.
New Zealand arrive ranked number two in the world and 2023 Rugby World Cup runners-up, returning to Murrayfield for the first time in three years. The All Blacks have won 31 of the 33 Tests the sides have played since their first meeting in 1905, with two draws. Scotland have never won, and the recent ones have been particularly tough: they squandered a nine-point lead in the 2022 autumn Test, and in 2025 they fought back from 0-17 at half-time only to lose when substitute Damian McKenzie scored. Their closest brush with victory came on 12 November 1983, when Jim Pollock's last-minute try drew the game 25-25.

The match is framed as one of sport's most enduring mysteries: Scotland have not beaten the All Blacks in over a century of tries. That's the backdrop for this one, and it's why the result carries so much weight. Tickets range from £85 for Category 4 up to £160 for Category 1, plus fees, with kick-off at 2:10 pm on Saturday 7 November.
