'They're a team on the rise' – Steve Hansen commends Scotland after All Blacks' narrow victory

November 19, 2017

Scotland came close to a famous win over the All Blacks, losing 22-17 in Edinburgh.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has given credit to Scotland, after his side claimed a narrow 22-17 victory at Murrayfield this morning.

Speaking after the match, Hansen praised Scotland's effort that saw them fall agonisingly short of a first ever Test win over the All Blacks.

"Scotland played particularly well," he said.

"They've beaten Australia this year, they've beaten other teams, I think that's their first loss that they've had at home in five games."

"That tells you they're not a bad side."

"They're a team on the rise, and world rugby at the moment has got some good teams."
