  1. 'We feel we can beat them'

    After Ireland's landmark win over the world champions last autumn, does history beckon for this promising Scotland side today?

    "They have lost three games in the last year - to Ireland, Australia and the Lions," said centre Huw Jones.

    "I do think we believe in ourselves enough. We feel we can beat them."

    Whether Jones still feels like that come 19:00 GMT is another matter.

  2. Still the great entertainers

    112 years and another 29 Tests between Scotland and New Zealand have passed since then.

    Plenty has changed. The players, points and financial prizes are all bigger

    But New Zealand are still world rugby's superpower.

    And Scotland still have not beaten them.

  3. The great entertainers

    Edinburgh. November 1905.

    The All Blacks roll into town on the back of tearing through English opposition like a rampaging Viking raiding party.

    The Scottish Rugby Union though are sceptical of the tourists' free-running game and commercial nous.

    After New Zealand's 12-7 win in front of a bumper crowd of 20,000 enthused Scots at Inverleith, an SRU official storms into the away dressing room to demand the return of a matchball that one of the Kiwis has pocketed as a souvenir.

    The All Blacks are not invited to the after-match dinner either.

    And when, three years later, the SRU big wigs finally got sight of the tour finances and found that the New Zealand players had received subsistence payments of three shillings a day they were so annoyed that they refused to play the All Blacks again for another 30 years.
