The All Blacks’ Grand Slam tour continues this weekend. 

They’re up against Scotland at Murrayfield after a solid victory over Ireland in the first leg. 

Scotland will be looking to claim the victory for the first time against the All Blacks, particularly since they’re marking the 100 years at the stadium.  

Rugby Commentator Tony Johnson told Ryan Bridge that while there is a lot of excitement, it has been tempered with the exclusion of a few really good players from the Scottish team. 

He says that while the team is still likely to be a threat, they probably won’t be as big of one due to those defections.
