This erroneous view is never more evident than when applied to the subject of the Scotland national men\u2019s team in the November tests. Like a crystal clear stream feeding a distillery producing bottles of an adeptly aged, 80% cask strength spirit of optimism, hope springs eternal from fans and commentators alike among the reddening leaves and mellow fruitfulness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Past history suggests this is not misplaced as the Autumn has gleaned more Scotland wins than losses vs tier 1 opposition, including recent victories over Australia and current world champions South Africa. But, despite a couple of narrowish results in 2017 and 2022, a triumph over New Zealand has eluded the boys in blue. If rugby history has taught us anything, it\u2019s that the Blackness is hard to overcome.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">This year though the optimism has been slurped greedily from the bottle; with a Scotland team of very decent talent fresh off the back of a enlivening hammering of the USA ready to take on a not exactly vintage All Black outfit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Could this be the one? Probably not, but we\u2019re all here to find out, nonetheless.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Scotland v New Zealand: Autumn Nations Series rugby union \u2013\u00a0live &amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2025\/nov\/08\/scotland-v-new-zealand-autumn-nations-series-rugby-union-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-690c845a8f08bdefda48452a#block-690c845a8f08bdefda48452a\" class=\"dcr-1mulgdf\">Share<\/a><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2025\/nov\/08\/scotland-v-new-zealand-autumn-nations-series-rugby-union-live\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key events Show key events onlyPlease turn on JavaScript to use this feature HAKA WATCH!
