    Scotland 14-66 New Zealand

    And that will be that.

    A comfortable afternoon's work for New Zealand, and another tough lesson for Scotland against one of the world's best.

    Alena Saili, con Hannah King

    One last twist of the knife from New Zealand in the final play and it's a perfect 10 tries as Alena Saili goes over.

    Scotland 14-59 New Zealand

    The game has turned pretty scrappy with the ball spending a lot of time on the deck. Not helped by the Edinburgh weather turning very wet to add to the fierce wind.

    Scotland have kept New Zealand scoreless since the 47th minute, which is a some comfort on a day when they have been outclassed by the number two team in the world.

  5. Postpublished at 64 mins

    Scotland 14-59 New Zealand

    Scotland have done well to stop the bleeding this last 15 minutes or so.

    Holland Bogan has become more prominent, the lock bursting clear on a couple of occasions, but too often the Scottish handling has let them down.

    Scotland 14-59 New Zealand

    Still over a quarter of the match left for Scotland to live with this relentless Black Ferns machine.

    The Scots are trying to throw it around a bit and make something happen, but they are running into a white wall.

    Layla Sae, con Sorensen-McGee

    It's one-way traffic.

    The Scottish defence looks out on its feet, New Zealand look like scoring every time they attack and Layla Sae is the latest to brush off a couple of tackles to go over for her second try.

    Tara Turner, con Braxton Sorensen-McGee

    New Zealand are cutting loose now.

    They are pulling Scotland all over the place and scrum-half Tara Turner darts away from the base to score.

    Amarante Sititi, con Braxton Sorensen-McGee

    The Black Ferns get straight back to work.

    It's a lovely break from Braxton Sorensen-McGee to get the ball rolling and substitute Amarante Sititi takes advantage of a gap in the Scottish defence to go over.

  10. Kick-offpublished at 18:09 BST 19 September

    Scotland 14-38 New Zealand

    Scotland fly-half Helen Nelson gets the second half under way at Hive Stadium.

    The physicality of these forwards, the Black Ferns forwards is outstanding.

    And when they're running that hard at you from that close out, you're not stopping them.

  12. Half-timepublished at 17:53 BST 19 September

    Scotland 14-38 New Zealand

    For the second week running, Scotland have shown lots of heart and some flashes of their potential in attack, but their defence has been exposed by the power of the Black Ferns.

    Amy Du Plessis, con Braxton Sorensen-McGee

    It's another one.

    Number eight Mia Anderson carries hard to get the Black Ferns moving and then centre Amy Du Plessis arrives on a brilliant line to slice through the Scottish defence to score.

    A double-whammy before half-time for the hosts.

    Layla Sae, con Braxton Sorensen-McGee

    This is following a very similar pattern to last week against Canada. Every time Scotland get themselves back into the game, they concede immediately.

    New Zealand seem to be able to crank up the power when they need it and after Alen Saili makes good yards, scrum-half Tara Turner switches the point of contact with a slick long pass and Layla Sae powers through a couple of tackles to score.

    That gives them a little bit of confidence, the forwards grinding hard, working hard and Evie Gallagher - so strong, so powerful.

    Scotland, again, back in this game.

    It's Evie Gallagher again!

    The Scots are showing some heart here. Rachel Philipps makes a burst and is hauled down just short, but the ball is recycled and Gallagher is in the right place at the right time again to finish.

    Rachel Law
    Watsonians scrum-half on BBC Alba

    She's an absolute tackling-turnover machine. She's only 22 years old, is Elinor-Plum King.

    Her work-rate there to get in support was outstanding.

    Elinor-Plum King, con Braxton Sorensen-McGree

    A great score for the Black Ferns but it's a soft one to concede for Scotland.

    Shyrah Tulia-Tua'a shrugs off Cetidh Ainsworth too easily to break up the wing. She finds Elinor-Plum King on her shoulder and she steps Chloe Rollie to go over.

    Justine McGregor

    Just as Scottish tails were up, New Zealand strike again.

    It comes from a scrum in a great attacking position on the 22 in line with the posts.

    The Black Ferns move it left then whip back right where they have numbers to spare and Justine McGregor finishes in the corner.

  20. Postpublished at 25 mins

    Scotland 7-12 New Zealand

    The ball goes down in the New Zealand midfield and Meryl Smith hacks it forward.

    The race is on and Rhona Lloyd turns on the burners and looks favourite to get there first but the ball bounces agonisingly over the dead ball line.
