Scotland team to play New Zealand: Who should Gregor Townsend pick? Kinghorn v Russell, centre dilemma, two from three locks

Scotland have never beaten the All Blacks. New Zealand have won 29 of the 31 meetings between the sides. Finn Russell, Jonny Gray, Grant Gilchrist and George Turner were sent to New Zealander rugby clubs as Macphail scholarship recipients. They are likely to come into Gregor Townsend's thoughts for Sunday's match. Scotland's inconsistency this year doesn't make it any easier for the national coach.

Stuart Hogg will play for Scotland against New Zealand. Ollie Smith impressed against Australia but made way for Hgg against Fiji. Darcy Graham and Duhan van der Merwe are exciting wingers but they need ball. Scotland lost the last meeting with New Zealander in 2017.

Cameron Redpath has been named on the bench for Bath's match against Leicester on Friday. Gregor Townsend had planned to pair him with Chris Harris against Fiji. Harris is likely to start at 13 against the All Blacks. Sione Tuipulotu is also likely in the team.

Scotland play New Zealand in a rugby match. Gregor Townsend has a dilemma over half-back options. Blair Kinghorn and Adam Hastings impressed against Australia but Adam's game was ended early by injury. Russell has not played a minute of rugby in this autumn series. Kinghorn is likely to start at 10 against the All Blacks. Ali Price is a fixture at scrum-half. Ben White came on against Fiji.

Pierre Schoeman and Zander Fagerson are likely to be starting props for Scotland. Rory Sutherland is coming up fast on the rails and will push Schoseman all the way. WP Nel and Murphy Walker will be back-up tighthead for Townsend. George Turner injured his shoulder against Fiji but he's still in the squad. Ewan Ashman and Fraser Brown are other options in tight-head position.

Richie Gray made his first start for Scotland in over five years against Fiji. Jonny Gray came off the bench against the same opponents. Gregor Townsend's team to play New Zealand will be two locks from three locks.

Scotland play New Zealand. Gregor Townsend has to choose a team. Jamie Ritchie and Hamish Watson are likely to start at flankers. Matt Fagerson is a lock, but Jack Dempsey offers more of a carrying threat.
