Telfer: 'Scotland can beat New Zealand'

Jim Telfer has said that Scotland could record their first ever win over New Zealand this weekend.

The world's top-ranked team have never lost to Scotland, and have drawn just twice.

The former Scotland head coach told BBC Sport: "One of these days we're going to beat them and there's no reason to think it shouldn't be Sunday.

"The All Blacks are coming off a draw and so they were a bit complacent.

"You have to play your basics right. You don't give the All Blacks any chances to counter-attack."

Scotland play the All Blacks at Murrayfield tomorrow.
