The highlights package opens with a stirring haka in front of a packed Northland Events Centre, immediately setting the tone for a fiercely contested clash between the Māori All Blacks and Scotland. From the kick-off the home side play with tempo, piling pressure on the Scottish defence through rapid recycling and deft off-loads. A sweeping movement from inside their own half releases the first try in the left corner, igniting the Whangārei crowd and forcing Scotland to chase the game early.

Scotland hit back through composed phase play, using clever kicking to turn the Māori All Blacks around and capitalise on a penalty inside the 22. Their first try arrives from a driving maul, narrowing the margin and signalling they have come to compete physically. The Maori response is immediate: crisp passing across the backline isolates a mismatch in midfield, and a burst of pace under the posts restores the hosts’ advantage before the break.

The second half showcases why the Māori All Blacks remain such a dangerous outfit in transition. A turnover on halfway sparks a coast-to-coast counter-attack finished by the right wing after a spectacular off-load. Moments later the Scots win scrum penalties, camp inside the red zone and are rewarded with a well-worked try that keeps the scoreboard tight heading into the final quarter. Both benches empty, injection of fresh legs lifting the collision intensity, but the Māori All Blacks’ flair proves decisive when a chip-and-chase is regathered for a crowd-pleasing bonus-point try.

A late Scottish rally is repelled by stubborn defence, highlighted by a last-ditch tackle in the corner and a crucial line-out steal on their own five-metre line. As the final whistle sounds, the Māori All Blacks celebrate a hard-earned victory that blends traditional attacking artistry with steely resilience, while Scotland leave Whangārei encouraged by their set-piece dominance and ability to stay in the fight. The video closes with post-match embraces, a salute to the fans, and a reminder that this 2025 encounter delivered exactly what rugby supporters crave: skill, passion and a showcase of two proud rugby cultures going head to head.
