Maori All Blacks vs Scotland Preview


This is a very much young and developmental squad for Scotland with most of their top players with the British & Irish Lions. After their win last week, I am backing the Maori All Blacks to win again.

  • Scotland have won 2 of their last 5 fixtures.

Head to Head


Maori All Blacks have won both previous encounters against Scotland.

Maori All Blacks Form 


The Maori All Blacks scored three tries in the first half against Japan XV last weekend, going into the halftime break trailing by two points.

The Maori All Blacks turned on the gas in the second half, scoring six tries and two conversions to cruise to a comfortable 53-20 victory over Japan XV. 

The Maori All Blacks will fancy their chances against Scotland, as they have the advantage of playing in front of a home crowd, and their opponents have players missing due to their selection for the British & Irish Lions tour.

Maori All Blacks News


Gideon Wrampling, Kurt Eklund, Laghlan McWhannell, Zarn Sullivan, Sam Nock, Jahrome Brown, Kemara Hauiti-Parapara, and Kaleb Trask each scored a try against Japan XV last weekend. 

Rivez Reihana slotted four conversions in the match.

Scotland Form 


Scotland finished fourth again in the recent Six Nations Championship. They beat Italy 31-19, lost 32-18 to Ireland, lost 16-15 to England, and defeated Wales 35-29 before losing 35-16 to the eventual champions, France. 

Scotland had no answer to the top teams during their campaign in the Six Nations and will find the going tough when taking on a Maori All Blacks side coming off a big win and playing at home. 

Scotland News
