Murrayfield has nearly emptied, with only a few hundred fans down at the front to give the players some applause left.

Families of the squad are there too. Those getting on trains and in cars will know the feeling of a Scotland hard-luck story all too well.

In the end, Scotland faded and lacked the control they needed. But there is still so much to take from that game into next week against Argentina, and the Six Nations.

And surely the Finn Russell question is over?

That was a sixth win on the trot for the All Blacks, who go to Twickenham next Saturday.

New Zealand head coach Ian Foster tells Amazon Prime: "It was a tough game. I thought Scotland were tremendous, they put us under a lot of pressure.

"Our bench was strong and that strength and composure was important.

"It was a high penalty count game and that allowed Scotland to get into our half too often, so we need to work on that.

"It would have been easy for us to panic in the last 15 minutes and Sam Whitelock deserves a lot of credit for keeping the boys calm."

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend tells Amazon Prime: "We're disappointed. There so much to be proud of but we didn't see it through.

"It was a show of resilience after going 14-0 down to one of the best teams in the world, but we didn't get the win.

"You don't get to play New Zealand very often and that's the best opportunity in our history we've had to beat them."

Scotland captain Jamie Ritchie tells Amazon Prime: "It's tough to be on the wrong side of the result. We were there or thereabouts for 70 minutes. It's some of the best rugby we've played over the last three weeks and I'm so proud of the players.

"We're glad we could put on a decent show for Doddie (Weir), just a shame we couldn't get the win.

"We spoke about being brave today and nothing defines brave more than Doddie."

Former British & Irish Lions head coach Warren Gatland tells Amazon Prime: "I feel for Scotland because they played outstandingly well. I think the bench made a huge difference for New Zealand."

New Zealand captain Samuel Whitelock tells Amazon Prime: "It's never easy here, it's such an awesome place to play. Scotland squeezed us but luckily we came away at the end and we'll take any win we can get."

Player of the match, New Zealand back-row Dalton Papali’i tells Amazon Prime: "We knew it would be a grudge match, proper footy, and we just trusted ourselves to pull through."

Sickening for Scotland but their error count just started to increase with about 17 minutes to go... A Hogg spillage, a Dempsey yellow card, a Nel penalty at a scrum, another penalty and then another.

They did so many brilliant things in the game but when it came to closing it down they didn't have the control to do it.

And that is that. New Zealand's unbeaten run against Scotland extends to 32 matches.

No way back for Scotland now as New Zealand launch a long penalty forward.

This one is going to sting. A great opportunity has slipped through the home side's fingers.

Darcy Graham is scampering after his own kick as he is barged to the ground by Caleb Clarke. The home crowd are furious but there was a covering player there about to gobble the ball up.

New Zealand go through the phases, edging closer to the posts.

The Scottish crime count is creeping up as desperation mounts. Soft penalty to New Zealand, which is thumped up the pitch.

Scotland need to stand firm.

Some sloppy handling from the All Blacks is just what the doctor ordered and Scotland can make some headway.

Replacement scrum-half Ben White finds touch with a great clearing kick. Scotland need to eat up some time with the ball as far away as possible from their posts until they can get back to 15 men.

It's starting to go a bit pear-shaped for Scotland as WP Nel is penalised from a Scotland scrum to gift possession to the All Blacks.
