All Blacks player ratings vs Scotland as Dave Rennie’s side continued their unbeaten Nations Championship run with another hard-fought victory.

New Zealand maintained their unbeaten Nations Championship record with a convincing 43-21 victory over Scotland at Murrayfield.

The All Blacks made a flying start, with Wallace Sititi, Ethan de Groot and Peter Lakai crossing the whitewash early on.

However, Scotland fought back through hooker Ewan Ashman, who completed a remarkable first-half hat-trick.

Finn Russell converted all three tries, but the hosts failed to score a single point in the second half.

New Zealand took full advantage, with Jordie Barrett, Jamie Moorby and Asafo Aumua among their seven try scorers.

Damian McKenzie added four conversions as the All Blacks pulled clear, leaving Scotland to reflect on a frustrating afternoon despite Ashman's individual heroics.

But who stood out in the famous black jersey, and who failed to deliver?

All Blacks player ratings vs Scotland

1. Ethan de Groot – 8.5/10

Only 50 minutes played, but an excellent performance. Scores a try, saves one less than ten minutes later, and intimidating in the few scrums.

2. Codie Taylor – 7.5/10

Strong game for the captain, highlighted by a very good try and a strong presence in scrums.

3. Fletcher Newell – 7/10

Excellent hustle from Newell, constantly going for loose balls and active everywhere, especially as the All Blacks pulled away.

4. Scott Barrett – 7/10

Another strong performance from Barrett, excellent defensively and active in attack.

5. Fabian Holland – 7.5/10

Very good in lineouts, excellent in scrums. Next best in the forward pack.

6. Tupou Vaa'i – 7/10

Consistent high ratings for the forward pack, with Vaa'i also strong in scrums and on defence.

7. Peter Lakai – 5.5/10

Rough day for Lakai. Yellow card in the first half and struggled to get into the game. Good assist for Aumua.

8. Wallace Sititi – 7/10

Opened the scoring for the All Blacks, led the game with 24 carries. Picked up a yellow card, but that was his only asterisk.

9. Cam Roigard – 6/10

Decent game for Roigard, limited in creating chances but still made good impacts offensively.

10. Damian McKenzie – 5/10

Mixed kicking for McKenzie, going four from seven from some tight angles. Struggled to do much as a playmaker.

11. Josh Moorby – 7/10

Good try save with de Groot in the first half, try in the second, and solid everywhere else.

12. Jordie Barrett – 8.5/10

The All Blacks' best player this season and showed up massively today. Incredible both offensively and defensively.

13. Quinn Tupaea – 7/10

Pick of the backs defensively. Won multiple penalties, big carries, and everywhere in attack.

14. Will Jordan – 5/10

Subbed off early with an injury concern, but a quiet game for Jordan.

15. Beauden Barrett – 8/10

Already under a lot of pressure this season, Beauden turned back the clock yet again with a brace and incisive playmaking. Good hustle but slightly sloppy at times on defence.
