Scotland Rugby Survives Māori All Blacks In Pacific Tour Opener

Scotland Rugby Survives Māori All Blacks In Pacific Tour Opener

Scotland Rugby faced the Māori All Blacks at Semenoff Stadium in Whangārei, New Zealand as the Scots began their summer tour. Relive the match.

Jul 5, 2025 by Joe Harrington
Springbok And All Blacks Team Breakdown 2025

Sam Nook led the Haka for the Māori All Blacks then scored a try in first 40 seconds to shock Scotland in Whangārei, New Zealand, but then George Horne scored two tries in the first half and the Scots took the lead and eventually won the opening game on its Pacific Tour, 29-26.

But the Māori All Blacks nearly beat the young Scotland Rugby team. 

After falling down by 12 points with the help from two yellow cards in the first 10 minutes of the second half, the Māori All Blacks cut the game to 29-26 in the final 15 minutes. The final minutes of the match, the Māori All Blacks had possession and were meters away from taking the lead before Scotland's defense finally ended the match after defending 28 phases. 

The match came down to one last line-out in the 86th minute, but Scotland's defense again came through and forced a turnover. 

Scotland will now play two test matches on its tour of the Southern Hemisphere, first to Fiji on July 12 and the to Samoa on July 19. Both matches are streaming on FloRugby and the FloSports app. 

Relive the match below.

Are Māori All Blacks Contests Considered Test Matches?

Playing the Māori All Blacks is certainly a test for any country, but matches against them are not generally not considered Test matches. 

While they are a representative team of New Zealand Rugby, made up of players with Māori heritage, and often play against international touring sides, their matches are typically not classified as full test matches. These games are significant fixtures and offer valuable competition, but they don't carry the same official status as matches between the main All Blacks team and other national sides.

The match against Scotland is a non-cap game.

Black Ferns Win 45-12 over Black Ferns XV, Māori All Blacks vs. Scotland Rugby Up Next

The first half of the double-header from Whangārei, New Zealand is over and the men will now take over the stadium. 

Edinburgh Rugby Well-Represented On Scotland Team

Four players from the Edinburgh Ruby club will play big roles for Scotland today.

Harry Paterson, Paddy Harrison, Marshall Sykes and Ben Muncaster have all been named in the Scotland squad to face the Maori All Blacks this Saturday.

Meanwhile Glasgow Warriors star Stafford McDowall is serving as captain of the club. 

Whangārei, New Zealand Has Strong Scottish Influence 

Whangārei, New Zealand is a city with strong Scottish connections as many Scots settled in the Northern Island town after sailing out of Nova Scotia, Canada in the mid-19th century. In fact, the last major rugby match played in the city was in 2022 when the Black Ferns played Scotland in the 2021 Rugby Women;'s Cup (COVID-19 delayed the World Cup that year). 

Whangārei is hosting two rugby matches today, as the Black Ferns vs. Black Ferns XV was on before the Māori All Blacks-Scotland Match. 

Match officials say 10,000 fans are expected at Semenoff Stadium.
