After their 43-21 victory over Scotland in their Nations Championship clash at Murrayfield here’s how the All Blacks team performed on Saturday.

All Blacks player ratings v Scotland

15 Beauden Barrett: The veteran All Blacks utility back has revived his Test career recently, and his renaissance continued in this match as he kept Scotland’s defenders on their toes throughout. Barrett‘s attacking efforts were rewarded with two tries, which brought up a half-century of five-pointers for the All Blacks at Test level and he was solid under the high ball. 8

14 Will Jordan: Although New Zealand’s try-scoring machine did not cross the whitewash in this clash, he asked plenty of questions of Scotland‘s defence and finished with a team-high 59 metres gained. 7

13 Quinn Tupaea: The Chiefs midfielder impressed with his distribution skills in the outside channels but made his biggest contribution on defence where he made 12 tackles and won a crucial turnover. 8

12 Jordie Barrett: The youngest of the Barrett brothers has been in fine form throughout 2026 and this clash was no different as he put in a superb all-round performance. Was brilliant on either side of the ball before being forced off after 65 minutes following a head clash with Blair Kinghorn. 8

11 Josh Moorby: The Hurricanes flyer looked dangerous with ball in hand and crossed for a try early in the second half while he also did well in the aerial duels. 7

10 Damian McKenzie: The diminutive playmaker was shifted to fly-half from full-back with great success against the Wallabies and that continued against Scotland where his playmaking skills created several try-scoring opportunities for his team-mates. Missed some shots at goal off the kicking tee, though. 7

9 Cam Roigard: Continued with his outstanding form as he provided a slick service to his outside backs while also proving to be an attacking threat around the fringes. Replaced by Cortez Ratima on the hour-mark. 7

The forwards

8 Wallace Sititi: The 24-year-old was in the thick of the action from the outset and was rewarded with a well-taken try after four minutes and continued to shine on attack as the match progressed. Also spent some time in the sin bin for straying offside on defence late in the second half, but Sititi can be happy with his efforts as he finished with 50 metres gained. 7

7 Peter Lakai: Like his back-row partner Sititi, Lakai was also yellow-carded for a cynical defensive indiscretion after 23 minutes but apart from that, he got through plenty of work on either side of the ball and also crossed the whitewash. 7

6 Tupou Vaa’i: Was on the field for 71 minutes before being replaced by Christian Lio-Willie but Vaa’i proved a handy option at the back of the lineout during his time on the field, while he also put his body on the line on defence. Also got through plenty of work on defence where he made 16 hits. 7

5 Fabian Holland: The All Blacks’ Dutch-born enforcer did what was expected of him at the coalface of their forward effort as he won his fair share of lineout balls and was superb on defence where he made 17 tackles. 7

4 Scott Barrett: Although the former All Blacks skipper was anonymous on attack, he made up for that with a huge defensive effort as he finished with a team-high 21 tackle execution and he also won a couple of turnovers. 8

3 Fletcher Newell: The All Blacks held the upper hand at scrum time as they won some penalties at the set-piece and Newell will be happy with his efforts in that department as he won his direct duel against Rory Sutherland. Eventually replaced by Pasilio Tosi after 63 minutes. 8

2 Codie Taylor (c): Another solid performance from the experienced hooker who impressed as a ball carrier, where he was rewarded with a five-pointer for his efforts, while also shining on defence where he made 14 tackles. Replaced by Asafo Aumua in the 56th minute. 7

1 Ethan de Groot: Like Newell, the burly loosehead prop will be delighted with his scrummaging efforts as he was excellent in the set-piece but also impressed at close quarters on attack and scored a deserved try early in the second half. George Bower replaced him after 50 minutes. 8

Replacements: This match was in the balance at half-time with the All Blacks holding a slender 24-21 lead but their head coach Dave Rennie used his replacements intelligently after the interval. Bower, Tosi and Aumua continued with the excellent scrummaging when coming on in the second half and the latter added the final nail in Scotland’s coffin when he scored New Zealand’s seventh try in the 68th minute. 8
