POOL C SCOTLAND v NEW ZEALAND Murray"eld, 4.00 Live, Setanta Ireland, 3.50 Like Ireland, Scotland have never beaten the All Blacks and you don't see that changing this afternoon, particularly as it seems Frank Hadden is more interested in Saturday's do-ordie fixture against Italy than this game. The Scottish coach has picked a weakened side to face the All Blacks with no Simon Taylor, Dan Parks, Rory Lamont, Sean Lamont or Rob Dewey in the starting line-up and while you can understand his logic, it's disappointing to see a northern hemisphere side effectively raise the white flag before the game has even begun. As for the All Blacks, they've shuffled their side a little too with Conrad Smith at 13, Reuben Thorne in the second-row and Chris Masoe at number six. Even with those changes, New Zealand still look immensely strong and on paper, they're a good 40 points better. If Graham Henry can fire up his side enough on the back of the home side not showing the competition enough respect, that tally could be over 50 and it will be difficult to feel any sort of sympathy for Scotland.
