MUSSELBURGH-born rugby star Huw Jones scored again as Scotland ran world champions New Zealand close at BT Murrayfield this evening (Saturday).
The Scots pushed the world's best side all the way, with the two teams locked at 3-3 after a pulsating first half.
After the break, injuries to Zander Fagerson and Luke Hamilton took their toll on Gregor Towensend's side, and the All Blacks scored three tries to take control of the match.
Scotland struck back with scores from Jonny Gray and a superb effort from Jones, who capitalised on Tommy Seymour's pass from Stuart Hogg's kick to touch down with five minutes left.

Despite a barrage of Scottish attacks, and a marvellous last-play breakaway by Hogg, the world champions held on to extend their unbeaten run over the Scots.
