What channel is Scotland v New Zealand? TV and live stream for Nations Championship clash

The teams meet in the Nations Championship at Murrayfield Stadium in the latest instalment of a fixture that stretches back 121 years over 33 Test matches.

The All Blacks have claimed 31 victories, with the remaining two matches ending in draws - the last one being in 1983 which finished 25-25.

The last four meetings between the teams have been decided by eight points or fewer. Just last year at Murrayfield, Scotland mounted a stunning comeback from 17-0 down to level the scores at 17-17 before ultimately falling short in a 25-17 defeat.

Both teams come into the November Nations Championship opener on the back of a strong summer in the inaugural edition of the new tournament which concludes with a Finals Weekend at Twickenham on November 27-29.

Scotland, now in their ninth year under head coach Gregor Townsend, sit second in the Northern Hemisphere table on 11 points - one point behind France - after a historic away win over Argentina in Cordoba was followed by a hard fought defeat by South Africa in Pretoria and a victory at Murrayfield against a Fiji side operating as the designated ”home” team.

The All Blacks, who are coached by ex-Glasgow Warriors boss Dave Rennie, maxed out their home advantage in July, sweeping all three of their matches to gather 15 maximum points from victories over France, Italy and Ireland.
