The Scotsman's Tom English reports on Scotland crushing loss to the All Blacks at Murrayfield.
"Andy Robinson has brought Scotland blinking towards the light in his time in charge of Scotland, but the progress made was but a distant memory last night as the coach got enveloped by darkness in the wake of this tumultuous pummelling.
...Scotland needed to produce a miracle match to beat the All Blacks. A hundred years they've been at it and it still hasn't happened. No surprise, given the series of improbable events that need to occur for the run of failure to end. Scotland needed to be foot-perfect in every sense; monstrous in the tackle, clinical in the set-piece, quick and ruthless at the breakdown.
They needed to blast Richie McCaw to kingdom come and halt his offloading warriors at source.
After eight minutes we knew that the dream had become a delusion."
