Mike Blair believes Scotland have every right to believe they can push New Zealand all the way, when the two sides meet at Murrayfield on Saturday.
The Scotland captain is all to aware that they have never beaten the All Blacks, but believes they have every chance of causing an upset this time around.
“If we get our set-pieces right and our breakdown right then it it will go a long way to making it competitive. It’s a big game for us first up. For a long time now New Zealand have been up there with the best in the world and we have to respect that.”
