    Damian McKenzie has come up clutch for the All Blacks as they resisted a second half fightback to keep their unbeaten record against Scotland alive

    Damian McKenzie has come up clutch for the All Blacks as they resisted a second half fightback to keep their unbeaten record against Scotland alive


    The visitors have clinched a 25-17 win at Murrayfield - having had three players yellow carded and a 17-nil lead completely erased.

    But a McKenzie 50-22 kick earned the All Blacks an attacking lineout in the closing stages, before he contorted his torso in the left-wing corner and dotted down with six minutes remaining.



    McKenzie then kicked a long-range penalty to extend the final margin to eight points.

    Captain Ardie Savea says there's plenty of relief.
